Booker T. Washington
The young nation of the United States pursued a policy of pushing Native Americans off arable land. Eventually, the reservation system started on land that was not suitable for farming or even hunting.
It is doubtful that the settlers and the Native Americans could have coexisted together peacefully. They both had different views on land ownership and their cultures were too different to exist together.
First there was when the Europeans came then after pushing them farther west they left the Native Americans...After about 50 years or so, the Americans came up the idea of "Manifest Destiny" it is in the bible and since religion was a big thing back then, well? They followed the "Manifest Destiny" which means 'manifest' to take over and 'destiny' well as in fate. Then came the Homestead Act of 1862 were:Head of family must be male21 years old or overWas given 160 acres of landAll given in one condition: must improve the land they were given in some way in about five years.Since the NA (Native Americans, too lazy to type that out now :P) lived in the west, obviously the Americans "claimed" the land the minute they had picked which one they wanted and NA did not believe in 'property' they believed in 'sharing' again obviously this wasn't to go well... So they fought. This is all I am going to put because you simply asked what conflict the NA had with the Americans. This was one of them, others were just battles nothing really big like war. Sorry if I ranted on for too long ):
South Carolina was voting to secede at the same time that Crittenden was pushing a compromise to settle the slavery question.
