14. (05.05 mc) question refers to the excerpt below. "to each head of a family, one-quarter of a section; to each single person over eighteen years of age, one-eighth of a section; to each orphan child under eighteen years of age, one-eighth of a section; and to each other single person under eighteen years now living, or who may be born prior to the date of the order of the president directing an allotment of the lands embraced in any reservation, one-sixteenth of a section."—from the dawes act, 1887 how did the disbursement of land through the dawes act differ from previous agreements between the government and american indians? (5 points) the dawes act broke up lands into smaller plots for individuals, but earlier acts gave larger tracts to entire tribes. previous acts granted land only to heads of families, but the dawes act also distributed lands to single people and children. the dawes act distributed lands previously designated as reservations, whereas earlier agreements had only included new lands. previous lands had been distributed only through presidential order, whereas the dawes act was passed by congress.

The correct answer is: "The Dawes Act broke up lands into smaller plots for individuals, but earlier acts gave larger tracts to entire tribes".

The Dawes Act was enacted by the US Congress in 1891. It divided tribal lands in individual allotments that would be granted individually to American Indians. The ones who got those pieces of land and accepted to live apart from the tribe, would be granted the US citizenship.

The main objective of this act was to end communal forms of ownership exercised by the tribes, that were previously allowed, and progressively assimilate the Indian population into the US society and way of life.

the industrial development of cities in the ruhr area in the nineteenth century is described. the research was based on english and german language sources. several factors that shaped growth and paths of the cities were categorized and analyzed. they are locations, resources, traditions, entrepreneurs, and technological developments. locations and resources were the most important among them; other factors may be regarded as consequences from locations and resources. among the cities, bochum, essen, gelsenkirchen, and dortmund had the richest resources and most favorable locations in the transportation network and grew to be the largest cities in the ruhr area near the end of the nineteenth century. riverside location was also a favorable factor for the development, as shown in the development of duisburg on the confluence of rhine and ruhr. resource distribution can explain the rise of textile industry, metallurgical industry, and coal and iron industries, and the northward progression of the mining industry. tradition was an important factor for cities such as krefeld, barmen, elberfeld, solingen, and remscheid, which experienced development based on their traditions through the nineteenth century. various entrepreneurs exerted influences within and beyond the local level over the ruhr area. technological development stimulated the northward progression of the mining industry and the deep connection between the coal and the iron industries.
