Answer 1

The correct choice is the third statement.

Reason: European colonizers generally treated Indigenous peoples harshly (land seizure, forced labor/mission systems, violence, displacement), and Indigenous peoples did resist. Notable examples are the Pueblo Revolt (1680) and Indigenous fighting during the Revolutionary era (e.g., Iroquois nations allied with the British and conducted frontier campaigns; the conflict prompted retaliatory actions like the Sullivan Expedition). Other examples include King Philip’s War (1675–76) and Pontiac’s Rebellion (1763), which further show widespread Indigenous resistance to colonial abuses.
