How did sectarian violence influence the shaping of some parts of the West?

            Native Americans had always been seen as outcasts and their religion was just a red flag for White Americans to see them as more different. Although the Native Americans had been driven away and pushed deep into the Western parts, their religion and their different creed both had a part in their torment. The White Americans thought differently than Mormons who wanted the American Indians to join Christianity. The land on which Native Americans used to live, it was snatched from them because they were thought of inferior and their religion was different. They were driven mostly on the base of their race as they looked different from the White Americans. However, the torture that they were subjected through definitely had the sectarian violence involved in it. They were driven to the West where they formed communities due to both racism and sectarian violence.
