Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: D - In her 1881 novel A Century of Dishonor Helen Hunt Jackson raised awareness about the plight of American Indians. Upon its publication, she sent a copy to every member of Congress at her own expense. While the non-fiction tome, which chronicled the recent histories of seven Indian tribes, did stir up some attempts to redress the injustices suffered by the American Indians, it did not affect the volume of change Jackson hoped for. She followed the book with the novel Ramona, which further examined the Indians’ ordeal.
