In 1850, U.S. government policy towards Native Americans was largely characterized by removal and marginalization. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 had already set the stage for the forced relocation of tribes from their ancestral lands, particularly in the southeastern United States. By 1850, many Native Americans were being pushed westward into designated Indian Territory, often facing violence and broken treaties. The prevailing attitude was one of assimilation, with efforts to undermine Native cultures and integrate Indigenous peoples into European-American society.
