Manifest Destiny is the root of all Native American oppression. Manifest Destiny is a belief European colonists had during Westward expansion, Europeans believed that they were the rightful owners of all undiscovered land because they believed that God had blessed them with prosperity for their good deeds and faithfulness. Manifest Destiny put a very selfish mentality into the minds of Europeans, so when encountering Native Americans, the Europeans had a sense of superiority over them, thus starting centuries of conflict.

The segregation of native Americans throughout history widely displays little to no coverage on the perspectives of indigenous peoples throughout historical american events. The segregation that is most typically voiced is the perspectives of African Americans and Latin Americans. Natives faced cultural and religious demolition and assimilation into civilized communities as well as involuntary relocation off of sacred lands. The segregation of indigenous Americans throughout the history of the united states has been absent from textbooks and history courses. Throughout time, native Americans endured harsh treatment from the settling Europeans. The removal of native american tribes from sacred territories and cultural discrimination. As the assimilation of indigenous Americans into ¨civilized¨ society became popularized in the 19th century, Europeans began devising the great expansion into westward territories. As expansion was underway, bounties for native Americans were publicized, the growing threat on natives made it difficult for them to find safety. Eventually the migration of bison herds were used to starve the natives into either a dramatically lower population or submission. American government did little to supply the native tribes with safety, territory or cultural tolerance

Native american culture held great importance on peace and respect. For the first hundred years that the native american reservations were recognized as independent nations, there was little to no opposition to the Europeans. Known for their cultural and religious tolerances and strategic methodologies, they were generally reserved and non threatening.

Native Americans, throughout American history, have consistently felt manipulated by the American government from the beginning of westward expansion. The American government took away their land and forced them into a belief system and world that was entirely foreign to them. Americans went as far as forcing native people out of their land and homes. All because they were on lands that could be good for agriculture. In 1830 Andrew Jackson signed the ‘Indian Removal Act’  which systematically removed Native Americans from their homelands and forced them on a deadly 60 mile trek on land between Ohio and the Mississippi River. From the Native American perspective this is obviously confusing and very upsetting. Over time Native Americans are consistently removed from their homes, forced to give up their culture, and racially oppressed. Many Native Americans did not understand why this was happening, and many resisted but that only came with more violence from Americans. This resulted in the death of around 4,000 Native Americans due to cold, hunger, and disease. The reason for forcing these people out of their homeland was to gain profitable land for agriculture, in addition to that many of the Native Americans were feared by the Americans causing many Americans to support the 'Indian Removal Act'.

James Monroe's Opinion on Native Americans

# data[].attributes.body
1821 - James Monroe noted in his second inaugural address that the policy that allowed the appropriate separation from america was considered to inflate native american ideas of self-importance. James Monroe stated that this treatment towards native Americans “flattered their pride, retarded their improvement, and in many instances paved the way to their destruction”. Monroe observed that Americans westward expansion had “constantly driven them back, with almost the total sacrifice of the lands which they have been compelled to abandon. They have claims on the magnanimity and … on the justice of this nation which we must all feel'' this means that Monroe held concern and remorse for the Indigenous people and the vicious plights they had been coerced into however, he had no regret for what he and others did for the united states and the consequences his actions might have, the desire to take what is necessary in order to gain or remain in superiority became of more importance. Soon after he responded, his administration successfully removed native people from states north of the Ohio river.
