Answer 1

a

Answer 2

Students should point to a variety of factors. The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851 defined specific boundaries for each Indian group, enabling whites to pressure one group without appearing to threaten the others. By confining Indians to specific areas, whites could concentrate the friendly population in defined areas and open fire on anyone outside those areasthe classic strategy for defeating a guerrilla movement. The most important factorand the one students should recognizeis the whites' ability to wage a war of attrition. By destroying tipis, food, and ponies, General Sheridan forced Indians into surrender to avoid starvation. The destruction of the buffalo herds prevented Indians from leaving their reservations and resuming nomadic patterns.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
