Settlers did things like occupy and degrade popular hunting grounds or water sources. Like if a settler built a house and barn and fences somewhere, it might ruin the place as a hunting ground because the animals might shy away from it. A fence in a pasture might block and annoy a Native American who was traveling across that area. In some cases, settlers unknowingly violated taboos. Like maybe they cut down trees from a holy grove to use for timber or firewood.
Settlers and Native Americans clashed due to differences in land ownership concepts and settlement practices, leading to disputes and wars as settlers expanded westward. Conflicts over resources and broken treaties exacerbated tensions, resulting in tragic forced relocations like the 'Trail of Tears'.
Settlers and Native Americans clashed in the backcountry primarily due to conflicting ideas about land ownership and settlement practices. As European settlers expanded westward, they sought to establish permanent homes, build fences, and apply their own concepts of private land ownership, often ignoring the existing native populations and their practices. The natives' nomadic lifestyle, which involved moving seasonally and not demarcating land with permanent structures, was at odds with the settlers' approach to land use. This led to misunderstandings and disputes over land use, with settlers often regarding the natives' lands as empty and available for ownership.
Native American tribes, like the Shawnee and the Powhatan, already had an established presence in these regions, with complex societies and cultural practices. As settlers built houses and fences, the freedom of movement for native tribes was restricted, leading to conflicts over territory and resources. Furthermore, the introduction of European goods and weapons altered the power dynamics among native groups, exacerbating conflict as tribes competed for access to these new resources.
Grievances over treaty violations and the expansion of European colonies inflamed tensions, resulting in frequent wars such as the Yamasee and King Philip's wars. Conflicts with the Plains Indians further worsened due to broken promises and aggressive settlement policies, culminating in violent confrontations and tragically, forced removals such as during the 'Trail of Tears'. Ultimately, the settlers' military might and support from local militias and the federal government led to the dislocation of Native American tribes and alteration of their way of life.

Was the creator a neutral party, or did the creator have opinions or interests that might have influenced what was recorded?
Why do you think the author wrote it? For what purpose? Was it created through a spur-of-the moment act, a routine transaction, or a thoughtful, deliberate process?
When the Monroe Doctrine was written, the US had just formed and was not ready to fight the European powers. Monroe basically asked Europe to stay out of the Western Hemisphere because they were afraid of getting attacked.
The creator, James Monroe, was interested in keeping the United States out of a war it was not prepared for. Though it was out of fear, there was some thinking through; people voted on it, after all.
Note that by "afraid of getting attacked," I not only mean getting attacked through soldiers and cannons but also by taking over nearby areas and competing with the US for natural resources.
