Answer 2

C. Most Native Americans were practically forced to relocate to reservations.

The Indian reservation system stabilized regions of land called reservations for Native Americans because white immigrants took over their homeland. The main goals of Indian reservations were to draw Native Americans below U.S. government authority and reduce conflict among Indians and immigrants and support Native Americans to take on the ideas of the white man. But many Native Americans were pushed onto reservations with catastrophic results and it was proved destructive which left with long-lasting effects.
