Because the European settlers of North America were to discriminative against the natives of the region, and unlike the Spanish settlers of the New Continent did not mix with the native races, pushing them into "their territories"

∙ 14y agoOn the surface the reservation system was marketed as a way of keeping the American Indians safe and to give them a place of their own. However, the real reason was far more insidious. It was a calculated effort to destroy the Native American spirit, something the invaders could never quite do. The reservations were designed to ultimately eradicate the "Indian problem" They were located in the very worst of places. Lands the white man did not want. Tribes were relocated to regions they had no hope of adapting to.Tribes who came from mountainous dry lands were given land in the everglades., for instance. They died by the thousands. Tribes who had been enemies were placed on side by side reservations in hopes of them killing each other off. It was a way of conveniently "caging the savage" until they all died out.

∙ 13y agoTo make way for settlement by immigrants from other countries in great part based upon an arrogant sense of ethnic, cultural, religious and technological superiority. It was a land grab even if monies or goods were exchanged, or even if the "option" was given to become integrated into the expanding American society if one was willing to give up self-determination as a tribe. One might hope that at some time in the future if there is life on other planets that one advanced civilization would not invade and put humanity onto reservations as they expand their presence here on Earth.

Were Native Americans justified in leaving reservations and refusing further relocations from the US government?
Even US President Grant said that the Native American tribes were correct in resisting the "reservation system". He did, however, need to help expand US western growth. His orders to his generals in the West were to force Native Americans on to reservations. He believed this was a must in order to expand settlements and create farmlands and mines. Grant had no choice despite his ideas to avoid conflicts.

Why did the US develop the reservation systems for the native Americans?
As the US amped up its westward movement after the US Civil War, Native Tribe treaties with the US were ignored by White settlers. In turn, Native Americans used armed conflict to retain the rights they had been promised. White settlers and the Tribes engaged unacceptable levels of violence and "removing Natives" from the prime areas that the Whites wanted required an expansion of the "Indian Reservation System". For the most part this goal of Washington DC was accomplished by the end of US President Grant's last term of office in 1876.

Were Native Americans colonized or did they immigrate to the US?
If I have to choose one of those options, I would choose that the Native Americans were colonized by the United States. However, I would argue that while the US illegally confiscated the territory that Native Americans occupied, the Native Americans were rarely, if ever, colonized. The US did not want them as citizens and actively fought several wars and committed atrocities to force them off of land that the US government decided would be in its interest to control directly. Native Americans only became "integrated" into the US via the Reservation System, whereby Native Americans received US citizenship and lived on Reservations, but this is fundamentally different than colonization in Latin America, Africa, or Asia where the native populations were actively involved in the European-dominated society.

How did the US government support white settlement in the West?
The United States government supported this, in that they set up reservation for the Native Americans. They then bought the land from them and promised to protect them. The US government also wrote and signed many treaties to help the Native Americans. Sadly though this didnt last long. Because the settlers wanted the Native Americans land. This caused the Native Americans to fight back. They were fighting not only for their land, but for their resources. But mostly in order to keep their traditions. Thanks I hope that helps!
