The History of Native Americans

Native Americans were adapted by American colonial expansion from the year 1785 to the year of 1829. They experienced the lack of beliefs, property, and underwayed mending made by whites to all throughout improve the Native Americans that were terribly affected them. Most of their teething troubles were caused by the Western Expansion centuries ago.

The year of 1790, the Appalachian Mountains was mostly owned to no one at the time following the War of 1812, the people in there doubled and in 1820 there became a big rise in people in the same area was seen. This became and outcome because of the defeat of Indian land by the United Stated Military. As an example, the United States Military that was managed by General Anthony Wayne who defeated the many Native Americans clans in 1794. The following year afterwards, the leader of each individual clan put together a treaty called the Treaty of Greenville. With this treaty, it was like the Native Americans had backed down and had to give the Ohio land to American settlers. The United States stated prompted that "Under my wings everything prospers", and so that’s means their invasion of Indian soil. This basically resolved their disturbance because the United States justified it as trying to civilized the Native Americans with arms.

Being a Native American, they did not just lose the land they had owned. They also misplaced the trust between Caucasians. Before the altercation, they were very good associates and helped the "forefathers" of the United States. Afterwards, wars had become to start right after Native Americans approached the Caucasians while they had weapons. Few United States Americans admired the Native Americans. President Jefferson asked for Louis and Clark to do a task and get information about fresh northern territories. Louis and also Clark were one of the groups that helped infiltrating anyone’s land using old unused routes. The Native Americans help to assist them through jungles and without them the travels would have definitely been uncertain. Even though Native Americans helped the Americans still planned on leading them to tragedy by ruining their way of life in world.

The U. S. portrayed the Native Americans as savages and in a 1785 treaty, white Americans were not allowed to "attempt to settle on any of the lands westward or southward of he said boundary" or those "having already settled and will not remove from the same within six months after the ratification of this treaty, such person shall forfeit the protection of the United States." The United States continuously made treaties with the Indian Nations. They promised them land that no American citizen was permitted to enter. Yet, the United States government treated these contracts as if they were nothing more than a promise made by a parent to get their child to go to bed. They later went and violated these Treaties. The U. S. was aggressive when removing the Native Americans later as in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend with the Cherokees in 1814. The U. S. accused the Native Americans of the crime of not respecting "the power of the United States of America They thought we were an insignificant nation that we would be overpowered by the British."  This arrogant attitude justified the aggression and hostility towards the Native Americans. President Andrew Jackson stated, "We bleed our enemies in such cases to give them their senses" Jackson referred to the Native Americans as our enemies.

The Native Americans resisted the westward movement between 1785 and 1929 threat to their very existence. They were later forcefully removed by the U. S. which justified itself by Manifest Destiny; it was the right and obligation of white Americans to expand the nation. The Native Americans were cheated and robbed of their land, abused, and eventually forced on reservations as a result of America's rush for land.
