Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 extended citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States. Prior to this, Native Americans were not considered citizens and were denied many basic rights. The forced assimilation in the 1890s was a period of intense government pressure on Native Americans to assimilate into white American culture, but it did not result in citizenship for Native Americans. The Great Depression and World War II were significant events in American history, but they are not directly related to the granting of citizenship to Native Americans.
