How were the conflicts between homesteaders and american indians resolved in the wake of the homestead act? homesteaders formed their own small armies and militias. the american government forced american indians to leave the land. the american government used force against the homesteaders. congress repealed the homestead act to prevent further conflict.

I Think the answer would be better if you instead provided information about how the American government didn't exactly use force, but that these indians had already been pushed back after the seminole war, and were then aggressed by settlers moving into their land, and then taking it, pushing them, taking it, etc. Homestead act was not repealed because of the Indians.
