When building the Railroad, Native Americans were forced to surrender their homes and move to another place assigned by the government that would keep them out of the way of Railroad Construction. This caused thousands of Native Americans to be forced to pack their belongings and began to move with their tribes.
Some tribes attempted to fight the US for their territory however it was unsuccessful. Federal and state governments would fight to have them moved, even if it meant killing them. A lot of native americans would fight the US for their territory but majority were unsuccessful at surviving.
