Question

Why couldn't the settlers and miners live in peace with the Plains Indians?
Please help!!

Answer 1

Because they fought.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Indians and settlers got along fine at first until one day the settlers wanted to bring more and more people to the new world. The Indians did not approve of this idea and decided to fight back because they believed that they were taking too much land and would soon push them all out. This war went on for years and then the settlers kept them as slaves.

Answer 2

Answer: American hunting grounds and miners would rush into their territory when gold/silver was discovered. ... The Ghost Dance was a spiritual religion to help them to pray, but White settlers thought it was for preparing for war.
