The idea of Manifest Destiny contributed to the displacement and mistreatment of Native Americans. As the US expanded westward, Native American lands were forcefully taken, leading to conflicts and the loss of their traditional way of life. Treaties were often disregarded, and Native Americans were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands, leading to a strained and contentious relationship between the US government and Native American tribes.
