Detailed explanation-1: -Between 1795 and 1809, about 48 million acres of Indian land was acquired by the United States. As settlement became more widespread, some Indians began to adopt aspects of Western culture, weakening the importance of their own customs. Many Native American leaders opposed this trend.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the colonial period, Native Americans had a complicated relationship with European settlers. They resisted the efforts of the Europeans to gain more of their land and control through both warfare and diplomacy.
Detailed explanation-3: -While Native Americans and English settlers in the New England territories first attempted a mutual relationship based on trade and a shared dedication to spirituality, soon disease and other conflicts led to a deteriorated relationship and, eventually, the First Indian War.
Detailed explanation-4: -In fairness, few Native peoples sought American citizenship in the eighteenth century, for they were citizens of their own powerful tribal groups who owned and controlled most of the land of North America.
