Question

Explain how a 19th century America pioneer would view “acquiring American Indian land” as justifiable. Consider the culture clash of Americans and American-Indians

Answer 1

The Americans needed the land more

Answer 2

The Americans believed that the Indians deserved to lose their territory as punishment for fighting against the Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the early nineteenth century, most of the native South Americans were removed from their land to accommodate American expansion over Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. With the American Civil War, many Native American nations were moved west of the Mississippi River.

This removal was imposed by the Americans without any remorse. This is because they believed that the Indians deserved to lose their territories because they fought the Americans in the wars and saw the American people as their enemy.
