Despite either side's claims to why this system was created, the outcome is obvious. The United States originally created the system in order to maintain control over the Native Americans and to enforce "manifest destiny" in assimilating them to European standards. When it became obvious that this would not work, they began dismantling the system in key areas to effect the same changes in the populations of reservations.
to facilitate the expanding population of Euro-American immigrants, to minimize the increasing conflicts between the immigrants and the native people, to force religion (especially Christianity) on the native people, and to control the natives.

When gold miners began encroaching on Indian territory, there was conflict. In order to negotiate with Indian tribes, the U.S. Government created reservations in compensation for taking significant portions of the territory.
