Question

Read the excerpt from "American Indian Civil Rights.”

One of the most sweeping blows to the American Indian community occurred in 1830 when President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. As a result, the government negotiated with tribes to move them to land west of the Mississippi River. The government then acquired their previously inhabited land. Some tribes reluctantly went along with the act. However, many did not want to abandon their homelands.

In this excerpt, the setting

creates a mood.
develops a character.
fuels the external conflict.
creates an internal conflict.

Answer 1

In this excerpt, the setting fuels the external conflict, as the description of the events from a Native American point of view fuels the sentiment of injustice about what Americans did when the Indian Removal Act was passed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was a law passed by the 21st US Congress to facilitate the transfer of the Amerindian tribes that lived east of the Mississippi River from the United States to lands further to the west. It was ratified by law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830.
