Description
During the 19th century, the US grew from a small collection of colonies on the eastern coast of North America into a world power that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific and beyond. However, this story of growth is marred by the actions of the US government, military, and citizens toward the Native Americans already living on the land.
