Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The reaction to the Allotment act of 1887 was that "Few Native Americans accepted the individual plots of land, thereby reducing the quantity of land belonging to Native Americans, while the rest were sold off to the white settlers"

2. It was believed that the purpose of the Dawes Act of 1887 was to assist the Indians to incorporate into the white culture in no difficult manner and ultimately enhance their quality of life. However, the result of the Dawes Act of 1887 didn't promote the purpose of the Act.

This is because it left many of them homeless and resent the US government more, thereby leading to conflict between the Native Americans and the US government.

Hence, I disagree with the result.
