Question

the relationship between u.s. & native americans (ap u.s. history)
the relationship between the united states government and native american tribes has been fraught with conflict.

early encounters and european contact

• contact: before the establishment of the united states, there was already more than a century of contact between native americans and europeans.
• cultural differences: many native american tribes viewed land communally, valuing shared use over individual ownership, while european settlers treated land as private property.
• the revolutionary war: most tribes sided with the british, preferring the familiarity of known colonial powers over the uncertainty of a new nation.
• the treaty of paris (1783): the treaty ended the revolutionary war but excluded native americans, who now had to negotiate with the united states, rather than the british. from the u.s. perspective, native americans were now living on land owned by the united states.

expansion and broken promises

• territorial growth: u.s. expansion through acquisitions like the louisiana purchase (1803) displaced many tribes. the u.s. government became increasingly interested in removing tribes and converting tribal sovereignty.
• the end of treaties: beginning in the 1870s, the united states stopped negotiating new treaties and instead set up autonomous colonial - style reservations, largely ignoring tribal sovereignty.

what effect did america’s expansion have on its talks with native american tribes?
native american tribes became more open to cooperation with the united states.
the united states began entering widespread alliances with native americans.
the united states eventually stopped negotiating new treaties with individual native tribes

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the information about U.S. expansion and Native American relations. The section "The End of Treaties" states that in the 1870s, the U.S. stopped negotiating new treaties with individual Native tribes. The first option is incorrect as expansion led to conflict, not more cooperation. The second option is incorrect as the U.S. sought to remove tribes, not form alliances. The third option matches the "End of Treaties" detail.

Answer:

The United States eventually stopped negotiating new treaties with individual Native tribes
