As the US amped up its westward movement after the US Civil War, Native Tribe treaties with the US were ignored by White settlers. In turn, Native Americans used armed conflict to retain the rights they had been promised. White settlers and the Tribes engaged unacceptable levels of violence and "removing Natives" from the prime areas that the Whites wanted required an expansion of the "Indian Reservation System". For the most part this goal of Washington DC was accomplished by the end of US President Grant's last term of office in 1876.
