Pros and cons of Native Americans going to reservations during the 19th century?
The pros would have only been for the Americans. Reservations were generally and purposely established in areas largely uninhabitable - lands the Americans did not want. The reservations were far away from lands the tribes grew up in, so they had no way to adapt to the land or its climate. Also they were often placed side by side with ages old enemies. The plus for the Americans was that it was a perfectly legal way to continue its planned genocide. The cons of the reservations were numerous. Aside from what was mentioned above, the reservations created an atmosphere of dependency upon the government. This again was to destroy the spirit of the American Indian.
