Overview Westward expansion is in high gear. After the Civil War the “Homestead Act”
spurred people to move West to the “Frontier. This movement was propelled by the Gold
Rush, the romantic lure of the West, and new opportunity.
Standing in the way of this advance were Native Americans.
Some would accept “relocation” peacefully. Others would not.

I Will Fight No More Forever I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking
Glass is dead. Toohoolhoolzote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say, "Yes" or "No." He who led the young men [Olikut] is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are -- perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.
