Consider the US government’s policies toward the Plains Indians in the 1800s.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

In 1830, Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act to allow the federal government to fairly, voluntarily and peacefully trade Native-held territory for land in the “Indian colonization zone”. However, the Native Americans were forced to leave the land where they had lived on for generations.

Explanation:

The government’s policies were set on behalf of the white settlers on the western frontier who aspired to grow cotton on the Indians’ lands, which the settlers thought they deserved.

Not only was unfair but also enforced with terrible violence, on what became known as the Trail of Tears: the trek to Indian Territory by foot, in chains, without any food or any kind of help from the government, where thousands of Indians died.
