Answer 1

What do you mean "the Indian problem"?

Answer 2

Ms. Sue

What I mean by the so-called "Indian Problem" is

2. The so-called “Indian Problem” as the reformers saw it was that American settlers wanted to settle in the lands that Indians had been given after signing treaties with the United States government. The settlers demanded that the government force the Indians out, but the Indians had a legal and moral right to be there. So Americans were trying to find ways to break the treaties and force the Indians out, which became known as the “Indian Problem."
