In the US, there was a good deal of westward expansion in the 19th century. American settlers moved west of the Mississippi River by train or wagon train. They were able to make claims based on Federal government homesteading laws. Problems developed when the settlers ignored territorial treaties that Native Americans had made with the Federal government. The result was all too often bloody conflicts and for the most part, the White settlers received the better of the situation. To make room for the new settlers, Native Tribes were often ordered to live on designated reservations. If they refused, the US military would intervene and force the Natives to follow the governments demands to resettle on reservations.

How did the nation change as a result of westward movement after the Civil War?
The Westward Expansion has often been regarded as the central theme of American history. The expansion was the result of a strong desire of Manifest Destiny amongst most Americans. Manifest was a belief that the United States was destined to expand across the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Westward expansion had many effects on America. New forms of transportation such as the Transcontinental Railroad developed, bolstering the nation's economy. Although most changes were positive, some were negative. The westward expansion weakened the Native Americans hold on their sacred lands and onto reservations and threatened to ruin their culture. The positive result of Westward Expansion was the start of the United States. Nowadays, United States is one of the most successful countries in the world, and it all started with Westward Expansion. The movement to the West created a huge country which set up the success of America. Another positive part was the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad. The railroad was built as a result of Westward movement, because the early settlers needed a way to transport goods from the West, such as lumber, to the East, efficiently in order to develop a economy. A negative part, and it is a big negative, was the end of the Native Americans. Of course, there are still Native Americans living today, but back before Westward expansion; they basically had the whole West Coast. They treated their land with care. But when white settlers arrived, they were forced out of their own land and onto reservations. Conflicts between white people and Indians arose because of this, and many people, especially Native American, were killed, and killed brutally. Without Westward Expansion, the United States would not be as successful as it is nowadays. But on the other hand, the Natives were here first and we should have given them respect. Even though it is horrific what happened to the Native Americans as a result of Westward Expansion, without it, America would not be where it is today.

How did the end of civil war effect the wild west?
The end of the US Civil War had a huge impact on the West and westward expansion of settlers in all areas west of the Mississippi. With that said, it should be clear the problems between Native Americans and white western settlers was a distraction to the US army during the war. On more than one occasion the US had to step in and put down Native uprisings due to the settlers tendencies to break treaties.In fact the largest uprisings happened during the Civil War. Most of the time the white settlers were in the wrong, but US President Lincoln had to protect his fellow Americans. With the war now over, there were more Federal troops available to help keep the peace between the Native tribes and white settlers. This enhanced the push westward by the settlers and Natives were forced onto Reservations.
Why did the unites staes government try to move Native Americans to reservations?
Native Americans in the US did not due well as the westward expansion continued. White settlers were in constant conflict with Native Tribes and treaties signed by the US government with Native Tribes were broken all the time. The US wanted to not eliminate Natives, but rather to have them settle in reservations. This would of course infringe upon their freedoms. Basically, white settlers saw Natives as obstacles to their mining and farming interests. It must ne noted that Native Americans throughout the Western Hemisphere all suffered under the European invasions of the New World.
