Answer 1

During the 19th century, the expansion of the population of the United States affected the lives of American Indians primarily in that most Indians **were forced to move westward**. This was due to a combination of factors, including government policies like the Indian Removal Act, conflicts with settlers, and the desire of the U.S. government to acquire more land for agriculture and settlement.
