(C) The government broke a treaty protecting their land when gold was discovered

Explanation:

At the time of Wilhautyah's demise, the Nez Perce were entangled in a battle to stay on their homeland. The underlying foundations of contention extended back to an 1855 arrangement that gave the Wallowa nation to the Nez Perce and an 1863 settlement that removed it after gold was found on Indian land.

Old Joseph, Chief Joseph's dad and the pioneer of the Wallowa band, would not sign the subsequent settlement. His Nez Perce considered the valley as their home, even as homesteaders started building lodges and planting crops there.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.

freedom of speech is also protected by the 1 amendment.

explanation:

here is pretty much what the 1st amendment says:

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
