MAIN IDEA: Native American life changed dramatically as a result of westward expansion

1. Forced to migrate to protected areas • Borrowing native American land is justified as settlers feel that they are building land

The US government and settlers often break these treaties by means of reservations and borrow more land from Native Americans.

• Deliberately reduce herds of buffalo and move it from hunting ground to protected area

• Indigenous people try to settle as pioneers - settlers want more "productive" land use

• Daws law - Reservation is divided into 160 acres of land and given to individual family farms for benefit

• Indian boarding school - children will be sent to school to concentrate on carpenters and housework skills

• Many Sue (Lakota), including sitting cows and crazy horses, refused to travel to Montana for reservation

• General George Custer and the US military were dispatched to return indigenous peoples to their settlements.

In my opinion, Joseph Chief of NezPercé, my chief. I'm tired. My heart is sick and sad. From the current position of the sun, I will not fight

When the east coast of the United States began to fill, the Americans moved to the west and occupied the land previously owned by locals. This expansion to the west caused conflicts over the territory and eventually took away indigenous people's tribe, an effort called tears. Americans are getting worse about the Indians, they think they are enemies. The emergence of Monroeism was due to the common interests of British and American leaders to protect America from foreign attacks. The United Kingdom warned that major European countries would not intervene and Monroe said the United States would not colonize or conquer any further. Initially the doctrine was praised, but it was not until the later time that it lost its general meaning.

The main influence that the expansion of the American West gives to the Native American is the loss of Native American land. Even before the 19th century, Native Americans owned most of the Americas. Even today, the Native American tribes and people have few lands, but their rights have expanded greatly since the 19th century. Even now, people are still pending (although as mentioned above more rights and freedom to get out of those areas). Along with the expansion of the United States, the number of Native American decreased.

The expansion to the west and the obvious fate had a very bad influence on the Mexican and Native Americans. As Americans want to expand to the west, they continue to believe that Native Americans are hindering the progress of our country. In the 1930s, the American Indians were forcibly moved from the land on the east side of the Mississippi River to the western side of the Mississippi River. Many Native Americans die as a result of forced evictions, often referred to as tear marks. As Americans began to expand outside the Mississippi River, Americans believe that indigenous Americans once again hindered the progress of our country. A new policy for reserving Native American was enacted. These policies are interrupted and in some cases impair their way of life. These policies are considered for the benefit of America, not for the benefit of Native Americans.

How was the fate of Mexican and Native American in the early 19th century and expansion to the West?
