Respuesta :

Answer: D

Explanation:

Native Americans were forced out of their lands in the Southeast because D.  Expansionists wanted to settle the land.

As the American population increased and as more immigrants came to the United States, people began to look for more lands and their eyes settled on Native American lands.

In the southeast in places like Georgia, they wanted the land to:

  • build new settlements on
  • engage in mining as these lands had natural resources
  • engage in economic activities like agriculture

As a result, they got both the state and federal governments to pass laws to remove the Natives from those lands.

In conclusion, the expansionists succeeded in getting Native Americans off their ancestral lands in order to settle on those lands.
