Question 20 - 11th Grade English Language Arts and Literacy: Listening Practice Test for the SBAC

Grant attempted to convince the Native Americans to move to Cherokee country by making it sound like it would be a utopian place where they could live happily ever after and offering every concession to help them ease into the transition.

Grant needed the Native Americans to move to Cherokee country and tried to persuade them by making promises he had no intention of keeping.

Grant wanted the Native Americans to move to Cherokee country because he wanted them out of the way of westward American expansion as the nation was growing and needed their lands for white farmers and factories.

Grant felt threatened by the Native American presence in their traditional lands, so he wanted them all rounded up and living in one area where they would be easier to manage.
