Explanation:

After the Civil - War ended in 1865, the U.S. government and white settlers turned their attention westward. With the military no longer pre - occupied with the Civil War, it was used to forcibly remove Native Americans from their lands in the West for white settlement and economic development. Native Americans did not gain full citizenship rights like African Americans in Reconstruction until 1924, and there was no large - scale movement of Native Americans back to the East.

Answer:

It meant the United States could start focusing its military on forcibly pushing Native Americans off their lands in the West
