USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Native Americans didn’t approve of settlers’ beliefs. The settlers didn’t pay taxes to the Native Americans. The Native Americans didn’t approve of farming.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Jackson declared that removal would “incalculably strengthen the southwestern frontier.” Clearing Alabama and Mississippi of their Indian populations, he said, would “enable those states to advance rapidly in population, wealth, and power."

Detailed explanation-5: -The Native Americans resented and resisted the colonists’ attempts to change them. Their refusal to conform to European culture angered the colonists and hostilities soon broke out between the two groups.
