Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1905, after the tribal government came to an end the Five Native tribes proposed to set their own government to preserve their land. The Natives desired to have a state and governance.

The proposed name for their state government was Sequoyah, named to tribute Sequoyah, a Cherokee. Sequoyah from Cherokee is known for creating a writing system in 1825.

The Republicans in Congress feared that creation of Native American government would be under the control of Democrats.

Therefore, option B is correct.
