Westward expansion had many effects on America. Many things developed such as the Pony Express, and other new forms of transportation such as the Continental Railroad. Although those were positive, some negative effects were how the Americans moving west drived native Americans out of their tribal lands and onto reservations. the wars with native Americans killed many of them.
