Answer 1

The war between Native Americans and miners in Oregon in 1855 primarily began because miners found gold that was on Native American lands. The discovery of gold in the territory led to an influx of settlers and miners encroaching on lands that were traditionally inhabited by Native American tribes, resulting in conflicts over land rights and resources. This tension ultimately led to violent confrontations and the outbreak of conflict.
