The federal government made laws forcing Native Americans to learn English and speak only English. They trained Native American wives to be good and proper English housewives. They provided money and compliments for those who learned quickly and adjusted to the American ways. The American government did this because the American Government was against anyone being different than them. They wanted everyone to be the same as them because they were the "elite" people.

What effect did the federal government desire from the implementation of the Dawes Act?

The federal government aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream American society through the Dawes Act of 1887. By allotting individual plots of land to Native American families and promoting private land ownership, the government sought to undermine tribal sovereignty and traditional communal living.
