How Manifest Destiny afftected Native American culture.

Today I am going to talk about manifest destiny and how it contributed to the destruction of the Native American life and culture in the U.S . So pretty much Manifest destiny was a movement that involved the European settlers in America. They wanted to spread their culture and prosper in the land. They wanted to be the best country to be and they wanted the people to have control over it. (democracy). They also thought very highly of themselves. They drove out the native Americans thinking they were doing a good deed. They thought the Native Americans to be savages that needed to be gone. So, they would raid villages and destroy them in the fact that they thought it was for the greater good that these savages should be eliminated. They also thought it to be the will of god that they take over the land for themselves and whoever stood in their way was an enemy of god. This contributed to the destruction of native American culture in the fact that most of the native Americans that survived were driven away. This was a movement that created a pathway called the trail of tears. This trail was being Native Americans walked until they found land far away from the settlers that sought to wipe them out. Many died along the way and as they progressed. As did the progression of Settlers taking the land they once lived on. A lot of times when the Native Americans found a place to stay the settlers would come and drive them out again.
