wednesday bell: explain to me how continued settlement by americans in the west intensified conflict with american indians and reinforced the policy of the reservation system. make sure to use at least three specific examples of this happening, so which one should reference assimilation and at least one should have to do with a battle.

Explanation:

Continued American settlement in the West led to conflicts with Native - Americans as settlers encroached on their lands. The reservation system was a way to control and separate Native - Americans from settlers. Assimilation policies aimed to make Native - Americans adopt American ways, like the Dawes Act which broke up communal lands. Battles such as the Battle of Little Bighorn were a result of the clash between Native - American resistance to settlement and American expansionist goals. For example, as more settlers moved west, they took over land that was traditionally used by Native - American tribes for hunting and living, forcing tribes onto reservations. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School was an example of an assimilation effort, taking Native - American children away from their families to be educated in American ways.

Answer:

Continued American settlement in the West conflicted with Native - Americans as settlers took their land, leading to the reservation system. Examples include land - grabbing by settlers, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School for assimilation, and the Battle of Little Bighorn as a result of the conflict.
