Answer 1

Answer:

The American ideal valued fitting into society, but Native Americans were forced to participate in society  and still encountered racism.

Explanation:

As Americans were conquering their manifest destiny by moving west, Native Americans were forced to submit into the American lifestyle against their own will. Despite assimilating into American Society they were still heavily discriminated by the whites and were never seen as proper humans because of their background, beliefs, and color of their skin.
