Dawes Act
the dawes act
The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting individual plots of land to families, reducing communal tribal land. As a result, Native Americans lost about 90 million acres of their land, leading to significant cultural disruption and loss of identity. The act ultimately failed to achieve its goals of integration and self-sufficiency, as many Native Americans were unprepared for farming and faced economic hardship. Additionally, the surplus land was sold to white settlers, further diminishing Native American landholdings.
The Embargo Act of 1807 did not effectively achieve its intended goals. The act aimed to pressure Britain and France to respect American neutrality, but instead, it hurt the American economy and led to widespread smuggling.
