The Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 marked a tragic culmination of the U.S. government's efforts to suppress Native American resistance and assimilate Indigenous peoples. The massacre effectively ended armed Native American opposition to westward expansion, leading to increased government control over Native lands and further encroachment by settlers. This event symbolized the brutal consequences of expansionist policies and accelerated the marginalization of Native cultures, paving the way for the establishment of reservations and the continuation of westward settlement. Ultimately, it reinforced the idea of Manifest Destiny, justifying further expansion at the expense of Indigenous populations.
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.
