Well around then the U.S.A had just gained independence, and since the British were no longer confining them in that designated area so as to not create war with the Natives (the British were far more tolerant of the Natives), we decided to explore 'our' newly won land. The Natives were fine with this, but when settlers started massacring all the native buffalo and themselves, they started to have concerns, which we ignored. Long story short, we got angered by the fact then perceived sub-humanoid savages would dare question us, so we wiped them out.
