Question

how did the conflict between native Americans and the u.s. change toward the end of the nineteenth century?

Answer 1

Native Americans were not recognized as U.S. citizens throughout the nineteenth century. A clause in the Fourteenth Amendment "excluding Indians not taxed" prevented Native American men from receiving the right to vote when African American men gained suffrage in 1868. Instead, tribes remained independent nations that were expected to sign agreements to establish Native American reservations in U.S. territories.
