Multiple Choice

What direction do settlers continue to push into that is supposed to be guarded and protected land for Native Americans?

• North

• South

• East

• West

Warning

The graphic on the next slide is regrettably a bit quick. The point of it is to show the gradual movement of settlers west. Remember, as we continue to push westward, this would negatively impact the Native populations all along the way and would subsequently continue to push them further west as well. Until that there was no more land to push them onto.
