“QSM2 Task 3: Segregation in America”
Section A
After the American Revolution, the newly formed government of the United
States
Became increasingly interested in expanding westward. However, as they
encountered
Native American tribes inhabiting on these lands, the government began to
view them as an
Obstacle to their expansion and development. The government believed
that they were
culturally and intellectually superior to the Native Americans and that it was
their duty to
"civilize" them. (Library of Congress n.d.) A notable aspect of American
history is the
concept of manifest destiny. Many believed that it was God's will for them
to expand their
land and achieve success at any cost. Unfortunately, this belief was used as
a j Justification
for the forced separation of Native American communities from the rest of
American
society. When the French claimed the lands now known as the United
States, they did not

the new US
government proclaimed the Indian Removal Act to move these tribes
westward. This act

forced Native Americans to leave their ancestral homes and move to
designated areas in
the West, resulting in the loss of life, culture and identity of many tribes.
The Native
Americans were severely affected by the practice of reservations, which
made their lives
extremely challenging. They lacked the basic resources necessary for
survival, and the
larger American society expected them to abandon their cultural identity. In
an effort to
assimilate them, church officials were often sent to live with the Native
Americans on their
restricted lands. The primary objective of the church official was to
transform the culture
and beliefs of the Native population. Any individuals observed engaging in
their customary
religious practices were forcibly removed. Male members were conscripted
into military
service, while both genders were recruited by the Bureau of Indian Affairs
to serve as
Educators, administrators, craftsmen, medical professionals and
agriculturalists. In the
Past, Native American children were taken away from their families and
homes, and were
placed in boarding schools as a means of assimilation into American
culture.
This
Experience was deeply traumatic for many children as they were forced to
