    Correct Answer
    A. Reservation
    Explanation
    An area set aside by the United States government for American Indians is called a reservation. This term refers to the land that is designated for Native American tribes to live on and govern themselves. Reservations are a result of treaties and agreements between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, providing them with a degree of sovereignty and self-governance within their designated territories.

    Explanation
    A written plan of government is called a constitution. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or organization is governed. It outlines the structure and powers of the government, as well as the rights and responsibilities of the citizens. Constitutions are typically written documents that serve as the supreme law of the land, providing a framework for governance and ensuring the protection of individual rights and freedoms.

    After the  War of 1812 the Indians had to sign more treaties  and gave up more land.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    After the War of 1812, the Native Americans were forced to sign additional treaties and surrender more land. This was a result of the expansionist policies of the United States, which sought to acquire more territory and push Native Americans further west. These treaties often resulted in the displacement and loss of traditional lands for Native American tribes. Therefore, the statement "After the War of 1812 the Indians had to sign more treaties and gave up more land" is true.

    What is a group united for a purpose called?

    • Constitution

    • Representative

    • Confederation

    • Reservation

    Correct Answer
    A. Confederation
    Explanation
    A group united for a purpose is called a confederation. A confederation is an organization or alliance formed by multiple groups or states that come together for a common purpose or goal. It involves the cooperation and coordination of members towards achieving their shared objectives. Unlike a constitution or representative, which refer to different concepts, a confederation specifically refers to a group united for a purpose. Reservation is not a suitable answer as it does not accurately describe a group united for a purpose.

    Who won the battle of 1812?

    • British

    • Indians

    • Americans

    • No one

    Correct Answer
    A. No one
    Explanation
    The battle of 1812 did not have a clear winner as it ended in a stalemate. The war was fought between the United States and the British Empire, and although both sides experienced victories and losses, neither was able to achieve a decisive victory. The war eventually ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, which restored pre-war boundaries and settled some of the disputes between the two nations. Therefore, the correct answer is "No one."
