How did differing views of white settlement in the West contribute to the Massacre at Wounded Knee?

Differing views on white settlement in the West fueled tensions between Native Americans and settlers, leading to the Massacre at Wounded Knee. Many settlers believed in Manifest Destiny, viewing westward expansion as a divine right, while Native Americans saw their land and way of life being violently encroached upon. The rise of the Ghost Dance movement among Native Americans, perceived as a threat by U.S. authorities, escalated fears and ultimately resulted in a tragic military response. This clash of perspectives culminated in the massacre, symbolizing the broader conflict over land, culture, and sovereignty.


How did Tecumseh react to the westward expansion of white settlers?

Tecumseh, the Shawnee leader, fiercely opposed the westward expansion of white settlers into Native American territories. He sought to unite various tribes to resist encroachment on their lands, advocating for a confederation of indigenous peoples to defend their rights and way of life. Tecumseh believed that only through unity could Native Americans effectively resist the loss of their ancestral lands and maintain their sovereignty. His efforts culminated in alliances with other tribes and support from the British during the War of 1812.
