Best Answer

As the white population grew, they wanted to expand - to own land and raise their families.

Gold or other metals were found.

The government could further its annihilation of the Indian by moving and then containing the Indians on lands totally foreign and inhospitable for the tribes moved there.

Simply because they could.

(A REAL NATIVE AMERICAN VIEW )

I think this answer is false. I believe that the Europeans along with other white settlers where trying to find a better place( which I believe everyone in those days were). Due to there evil heritage of the white man. His only way is to steal, rape, an torture poor Native Americans in their land. If you look back and notice the whites are a disgusting race. A few examples the brought diseases over here from being unclean. They had no respect for the land along with there kids. In the fact of the matter is Native Amercians were whipped out completely. We are told there is only 1 Percent of us left on this planet earth. i don't believe this. I think that the Gov. is scared we well go to war for this land again which by telling us how small we are will discourage us.

The US GOVERNMENT is still killing the Native Americans. They let covid-19 lose on them. The US GOVERNMENT is nothing but a bunch of CROOKS. I have Cherokee. Choctaw and Chickasaw in me from both sides of my family and proud of it.
