US History

Forced Migration is when people are forced to leave their current home and are relocated somewhere else. Forced migration is usually a violent happening, and there are threats sent out, forcing them to leave. People who have been forced to migrate are then known as "refugees". I have found an example of this in US history; In the 19th Century the Native Americans were forced out of the north side of the country to the western states. This lead to quite an amount of deaths. Forced Assimilation is when people are forced to change from their religion, to another one, and follow that religion instead of their own. The Cultural Assimilation for the native Americans was ordered by the United States to change the Native American culture to a European culture. That is an example of Forced Assimilation. Cultural Genocides is a destruction of cultural tradition of a nation for religious, military and/or political reasons. In the 1830's to 1840's, Manifest Destiny was a belief that the "Divine Right" of the USA was to enlarge and conquer the whole continent of North America. Manifest Destiny was the idea that America was to stretch from the Atlantic to Pacific ocean.
