The correct option is B government's record of broken treaties and promises in regard to Native Americans.
Helen Hunt Jackson's 1881 book, A
Century of Dishonor, chronicled the government's record of broken treaties and
promises in regard to Native Americans. This important, and somewhat
condescending, book brought to light many of the abuses Native Americans
suffered at the hands of the U.S. government. Chinese laborers working on the
transcontinental railroad were mistreated, and the settlement of the West did
bring with it ecological costs but these issues were not the subject of
19th-century books. Many books, most notably the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin,
described the conditions of slavery. Spanish misdeeds in Cuba were widely publicized
in lurid newspaper accounts in the years leading up to the Spanish-American War
in 1898, but no contemporary book was written.
