Why did the government want the native Americans removed from their land?

It wanted more land for immigrants from Europe, or it wanted the Natural Resources the land held--everything from trees, oil, and minerals. Most native Americans could not develop those resources.

∙ 13y agowell all i know is that me, being native American thinks it was wrong,unfair and cruel. The Trail of Tears is famous for these reasons.... The Indians had what the government wanted and so they took the easy way out by MAKING or forcing the Indians out of what was rightfully their's and I think that the Indians were soo caught up and out numbered it was a matter of just do it!!! and Indians were put on to reservations. This is all i know of besides MONEY,LAND, and another main one GREED!! but that was then,,this is now. :)
Because the government wanted to make space for more settlers so they forced them to move to what is now Oklahoma. That was the Trail of Tears. When they found Oklahoma the Native Americans had to move again because they wanted Oklahoma.

∙ 11y agoAn act was passed called The Indian Removable and it's purpose was to put tribes on reservations. The main reason for this was very simple. People wanted the land and the Native Americans were in the way. Since the earliest times of the country there has always been bias and discrimination against the Native Americans. The unwritten policy was a "dead Indian was a good Indian" and genocide was routinely practiced and carried out.

∙ 8y agoGreed, discrimination, wanted the land. The Native American's were looked at as second class citizens and were not respected for their culture and the way they lived. From the very start no consideration was given to them. The Spanish thought of them as slaves and used them as slaves. As the western movement started more and more people crossed Native American lands and the government broke treaties they had made with the nations. Union troops would enter a village early in the morning and kill everyone in it. This happened in several cases. They lost sacred lands that their ancestors had lived for generations and were buried there because farmers wanted the land and fences were put up.

The policy of the Native Americans was one of genocide, and removal. The unwritten policy was a " good Indian, was a dead one" and everything was done to make sure that was true. Native Americans were removed from homelands, killed in raids on villages, given blankets with smallpox on them, starved, walked to death, hung, placed in camps and reservations, taken to schools away from families, and lied to.
