Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer 1

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1842 to 1849, the government of Untied States provided very cheap land to the region on the western part of United States. This caused a lot of people traveled from eastern side to the western part of Untied States.

Approximately, around 400,000 people traveled in this journey.

Many of these settlers told the stories of how they're constantly hunted down by Native Americans and a lot of them were killed.

But historians believed that they're overexaggerating their stories. The conflict between the natives and the settlers only occurred if the settlers tried to occur[y the land that's considered as ancestral land for the natives. Within those 7 years, historians believe that the natives killed less than 400 settlers,
