Answer:

d) They got rid of their Cherokee citizenship (meaning they were no longer members of the Cherokee nation, only US citizens)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cherokee tried very hard to be like the "white" people. They dressed like them, created a written language, owned plantations, and sent their kids to school in hopes that they would be able to keep their land and be respected.

Answer: D. They got rid of their Cherokee citizenship (meaning they were no longer members of the Cherokee nation, only US citizens)

Explanation: is not one of the steps the Cherokee took to try to be more accepted and maintain their sovereignty. This would have been counter-productive to their goal of maintaining their sovereignty, as it would have meant giving up their rights as a distinct nation.
