Answer 1

The conflict that contributed to the Potawatomi Trail of Death was primarily due to competing land claims by Native Americans and American settlers. This forced removal of the Potawatomi people from their ancestral lands in Indiana to Kansas was part of the broader context of westward expansion and the displacement of Native American tribes.
