1. Resistance is most beneficial for the Natives to pursue.
Economic: They keep their land the way they had it.
Social: Their culture stays the same.
Political: They wont have to go by American ruling.
If they fight for what they want, they have more of a chance of keeping their traditions the same rather than giving into the Americans. If they gave in, everything would change.
2. Assimilation is the least beneficial for the Natives to pursue.
Economic: Their land would be sectioned off and used to grow cash crops like cotton. It would be only for American use.
Social: Indian children would have to learn the English language and most likely never go back to their reservation.
Political: They would be completely under American ruling, they wouldn't have many rights and a lot of things would change for the worst.
