Answer: d) Indian Territory

Step-by-step explanation:

The Reconstruction era after the Civil War also meant striving for as many Indians as possible to obtain citizenship. This process accelerated at the end of the XIX. at the beginning of the 20th century. The year 1901 was just one in a series in which several natives were granted citizenship. This process began in the middle of the 19th century and continued all through the twentieth century. Obtaining citizenship for this group of people did not imply the right to vote and all the white population's privileges in the country.
