Questions: What makes Native Americans unique as a subordinate group in the United States? They are the only group that experienced expulsion. They are the only group that was segregated. They are the only group that was enslaved. They are the only group that did not come here as immigrants.

The answer is: They are the only group that did not come here as immigrants.

Explanation for each option:

1. They are the only group that experienced expulsion.

   • This statement is incorrect. While Native Americans did experience forced removal from their lands (e.g., the Trail of Tears), other groups have also faced expulsion or forced migration. For example, Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and interned during World War II.

2. They are the only group that was segregated.

   • This statement is incorrect. Native Americans were indeed segregated, often confined to reservations. However, African Americans also experienced extensive segregation, particularly under Jim Crow laws in the southern United States.

3. They are the only group that was enslaved.

   • This statement is incorrect. While some Native Americans were enslaved, African Americans were the primary group subjected to slavery in the United States, particularly through the transatlantic slave trade.

4. They are the only group that did not come here as immigrants.

   • This statement is correct. Native Americans are indigenous to the land that is now the United States. Unlike other groups who arrived as immigrants, either voluntarily or involuntarily, Native Americans were the original inhabitants of the continent.
