Answer 2

Answer:

In the mid-1800s, western settlers and American Indians differed in their views about how the land should be used.

Explanation:

During the era of American expansion to the west, the interests of white settlers collided with the interests of Native Americans. The Natives tried to defend their ancestral lands, especially they wanted to maintain the status quo of these lands, that is, not to affect them to the construction of cities, railroads or any other method of expansion, since they considered those land as sacred. On the other hand, white settlers sought to expand westward, exploiting the natural resources of the territory and erecting new towns in those places.
