Detailed explanation-1: -Relocation was either voluntary or forced. Army and militia patrols supervised the tribes’ westward journey. It is estimated that between 1830 and 1840 the government relocated more than 70, 000 Native Americans, thousands of whom died along what came to be known as the Trail of Tears.
Detailed explanation-2: -It also affected Native Americans by opening up western settlement and creating governments hostile to their territorial claims. Even more broadly, the Revolution ended the mercantilist economy, opening new opportunities in trade and manufacturing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Native Americans were greatly affected by the expansion of the United States during the 1800s.
