Answer 2

The correct answer is D) it outlined the poor treatment of the Native Americans by the government.

The main point of Helen Hunt Jackson’s book “Century of Dishonor” is that it outlined the poor treatment of the Native Americans by the government.

In 1881, Helen Hunt Jackson wrote the book “Century of DIshonor”. In this book, Jackson exposes the poor treatment and the injustices the U.S. government committed against the Native Americans. People that had no idea these happened began to show interest in the issue. Because of this, the Congress appointed a Commission on Indian affairs that passed the Dawes Act that gave Indians individual plots.
