Answer 1

Answers:

Increased friction with the tribes - Much of the rail lines passed through/close to native lands

Less land for the tribes - Their lands were seized and they were depoted to reservations

Why It's Not:

Increase in the number of slaves entering the territory - Most slavery was in the South, not the West, which was already established as states

Increase in the number of settlers leaving the territory - The purpose of the acts was to make immigration into the territories easier and more efficient ​because of the large influx of settlers moving into the territories
