Why did conflicts with native Americans and settlers grow after 1800?

The 1800's saw an expansion of the United States population. Many people in the eastern part of the nation sought homes and land in the western part of the USA and began to settle in areas that were the traditional homelands of many Native American peoples. The new settlers saw the Native Americans as obstacles to the land they wanted to settle in. Although agreements were made by the Federal Government and Native American tribes, these agreements were often broken by the white settlers.
At the end of the US Civil War transportation to the West became easier. Early on the only way to the new Federal territories was by wagon train. This was an extremely difficult way to travel. By 1869 the transcontinental railway system was born. This made it cheaper and easier to move west from the east. There was a Gold Rush in 1849 in California. This also brought more Americans west as did the discovery of silver in Nevada.
The bottom line was that as more Americans moved West the more likely the contact and resulting conflict with Native Americans became. Issues of who was entitled to what land erupted into violence. Federal treaties with the Native Americans were either broken or misunderstood by the Native Tribes.
