How did westward expansion or manifest destiny mess up the course of peoples lifes?

Westward expansion and the ideology of Manifest Destiny disrupted the lives of many Indigenous peoples and non-European settlers by leading to violent conflicts, forced displacement, and the destruction of their cultures and lands. Native American tribes were often removed from their ancestral territories through treaties that were frequently broken, resulting in loss of livelihoods, traditions, and lives. Additionally, the influx of settlers altered the social and economic dynamics of the regions, marginalizing existing communities and often leading to systemic inequalities that persist today. Ultimately, this expansion prioritized the interests of settlers over the rights and well-being of indigenous populations, causing enduring trauma and disruption.
