Native Americans in the United States

nineteenth century, the United States had formed policies which reduced land allotted to Native Americans. By enforcing these laws as well as Anglo-American ideals, the United States compromised indigenous people’s culture and ability to thrive in its society.

By achieving victory in their Revolution, they gained independence from the British Empire and established sovereignty over themselves. Americans hoped to prosper in their new country free of negative European influence, especially British. However, within two decades Britain began to impress

witnessed the treatment of the Natives during the United States' Westward Expansion movement. The treatment of the Native Americans during Westward Expansion was unjustified. No matter the circumstances, the treatment of the Natives was unjustified. The Natives had fewer resources than the U.S. and the U.S. took advantage of that when they shouldn’t have. In most of the treaties created with the Native Americans, the U.S. unjustifiably took advantage of the Natives' lack of knowledge. Prior to these

Instead, they were much more nuanced in their understanding of the multifaceted attributes of the cultural associations in the Colonial United States.

The American Revolution has had a profound impact on the demographic evolution of this continent; it might be the single most influential historical event to affect North America. Perhaps, the group most affected by the American Revolution is Native Americans.
