5) The US army planned to imprison their leaders

Answer 1

Geronimo and his people were subjected to attacks by the U.S. Army, imprisonment in Florida despite a promise of a new reservation, and numerous other injustices, leading to long-standing suspicion and oppressive conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The actions taken against Geronimo and his people by the U.S. government included a series of injustices. These included 1) being attacked by the U.S. army, which pursued the Apache, including men, women, and children, for over a year, 2) being imprisoned following their surrender, when Geronimo and his followers were shipped to a federal prison in Florida, and not granted the new reservation they were promised, 3) becoming suspicious of the U.S. army due to a history of unfulfilled promises and oppressive actions,

4) being given unjust orders, with the reservation system itself being a form of coercive control, and 5) the U.S. army planning to and ultimately imprisoning their leaders. The legacy and perspective on Geronimo's resistance to the federal government changed over time, with a new historical understanding beginning to acknowledge the struggle and plight of the Apache people.
