Question

how did the governments policy of manifest destiny affect native americans living on the plains in the late 1800s? a. native americans were forced to accept treaties and land east of the mississippi river. b. native americans were forced to give up reservations with the passage of the monroe doctrine. c. native americans were forced to mine gold discovered by settlers. d. native americans were forced onto reservations while settlers took their land.

Explanation:

Manifest Destiny drove U.S. westward expansion in the late 1800s. The U.S. government displaced Plains Native Americans to make way for white settlers, forcing them onto designated reservation lands. Option A refers to earlier removals (like the Trail of Tears, pre-late 1800s). Option B is incorrect; the Monroe Doctrine focused on European interference in the Americas, not Native reservations. Option C is not a core impact of Manifest Destiny on Plains Natives.

Answer:

D. Native Americans were forced onto reservations while settlers took their land.
