Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877

by Chief Joseph

Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.

Which line of text directly supports Chief Joseph's claim about his people's current condition? (5 points)

I would say sentence 8; "It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death," Is where he begins to claim what is going on.

Answer:

"It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death,"

Explanation:

Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce was referred to his kin as "Thunder Traveling to the Loftier Mountain Heights." He drove his kin trying to oppose the takeover of their properties in the Oregon Territory by white pilgrims.

In 1877, the Nez Perce were requested to move to a reservation in Idaho. Chief Joseph concurred at first. Be that as it may, after individuals from his clan slaughtered a gathering of pioneers, he endeavored to escape to Canada with his adherents, going more than 1500 miles through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. En route they battled a few fights with the seeking after U.S. Armed force. Boss Joseph expressed a surrender when they at long last surrendered on October fifth, 1877.
