The manifest destiny idea from the beginning of the 19th century was centered in the conquest of the west. The moral justification was needed for territorial expansion. And as expected, this idea ignored the claims of Native Americans and Hispanics already settled on western lands. Such desire provoked a violent confrontation in the southwestern borders.

By the end of the 19th century, the idea of manifest destiny was related to the American industrialist's need for new markets. Also, the ideology of social Darwinism and religious "crusades" were used to justify the colonization of less developed nations.

Settlers and American Indians often had conflicts after the passage of the Homestead Act. How were these conflicts resolved?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The Homestead Act was a law of the United States of America created by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862. Large contingents of immigrants from Europe participated in the occupation of the vast west of the United States and without them this achievement would not lead to cape. To attract immigrants, the US government UU decreed in 1862, the Homestead Act, which defines the ownership of a property of 65 hectares to those who cultivate it for five years. Anyone who had never taken up arms against the US government. The US, including freed slaves, could file a claim for a federal land grant. This law greatly increased the flow of European immigrants to the United States. The conquest of the West, which began with the purchase of Louisiana and ended with the purchase of southern Arizona in 1853, coincided with the US industrialization period.

Although this law was very beneficial for the USA, they also produced many problems between the Native Americans and the new settlers, this problem was solved later with the relocation of the natives in different reserves.
