Changes in the Indian Territory

Question 11 • OK-Oklahoma History

Which of the following is not a reason that immigrants settled near each other?

Answer

Immigrants were required to settle in communities because of the Organic Act of 1890.

Immigrants wanted to band together in order to provide protection against discrimination.

Immigrants who lived near one another could help support their shared cultures.

Immigrants who lived in communities were able to more easily resist assimilation.

Explanation

Immigrants often settled near one another voluntarily so they could support shared cultural traditions, find mutual help, and protect one another from discrimination. Living in close-knit communities could also help them resist pressure to assimilate. The Organic Act of 1890 did not require immigrants to settle in communities, so choice A is not a reason.
