Why did the government move the nez perce back to the northwest?
The U.S. government moved the Nez Perce back to the Northwest primarily due to conflicts over land and resources following the discovery of gold in the region. The Nez Perce, initially resistant to relocation, faced increasing pressure from settlers and the government to cede their ancestral lands.
