What were the primary methods that the U. S. government, as well as individual reformers, used to deal with the perceived Indian threat to westward settlement

The primary methods that the U.S. government, as well as individual reformers, used to deal with the perceived Indian threat to westward settlement were:

-The Indian removal act 1830.

- The treaties were signed for the indians to be asigned to reservations, and to be relocated. The treaties were not respected, the white americans would traspass their sacred lands.

- They would impose american cultural rituals and believes.

Explanation:

The Americans rejected the native americans and wanted to remove all of their cultural beliefs and rituals. They fear westward expantion so they took all the possible methods to avoid this, from trying to take them out of their lands, to forcing them to change their identity.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
