Answer:

Correct answer is (d) the failure to acknowledge American Indians as equals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many whites believed they had a duty to bring their beliefs to American Indians, things like farming, democratic government, and the Christian religion. Others didn't believe that American Indians were even capable of taking care of themselves because they lived so differently than whites. Either way, the settlers' failure to acknowledge American Indians as equals ultimately created many problems.
