The War of 1812 resulted in a stalemate between the United States and Britain. It also led to an increase in American nationalism and the end of Native American resistance in the Northwest Territory. Additionally, the war helped bolster American manufacturing and encourage westward expansion.

It increased the desire for slaves due to the expanding "Cotton Kingdom". Certain acts had previously banned the addition of new slaves but because of western expansion, there was some disagreement between the North and the South, abolitionists and slave-holders, as to whether or not new slaves were needed.

The politicians known as the War Hawks, who stampeded Madison into attacking a neighbouring country, felt that forcibly annexing Canada would be, in the words of Jefferson, "a mere matter of marching." The invasion was decisively defeated by a mix of British regulars, Canadian militia, and natives, and was chased back across the border and beyond, surrendering Detroit, Buffalo, and Fort Dearborn (Chicago). It was the second failed attempt to take Canada. The Continental Army had attempted a similar invasion in 1775. An American victory would have ended the possibility of a nation called Canada, but that nation not only prevented the US from expanding north, it eventually prevented westward expansion by the USA above the 49th parallel, and, eventually, left the US as the second largest country on the continent, thwarting the notion of "Manifest Destiny," which held that the US jad a "God-given' right to own the entire continent. The War did, however, with the death of Tecumseh, effectively end the alliance between the British and natives, leaving the US free to invade the natives' homeland to the west of the US.
The Native Americans attempted to preserve their homelands from westward expansion, but would not succeed because there was a lack of unity, lack of leadership, and a diminishing culture.

Slavery played a significant role in westward expansion in the United States. The expansion of slavery into new territories and states fueled sectional tensions between the North and South, eventually leading to the American Civil War. The issue of whether new states would allow or prohibit slavery was a major factor in determining the balance of power between the free and slave states, and ultimately the course of westward expansion.
When America sought westward expansion in the 1850s, there were many issues that presented themselves. One major underlying source of tension was slavery and the strife between the North and the South.
Herman Melville's writing, particularly his novel "Moby-Dick," explored themes of human nature, power, and the unknown, influencing American literature by challenging traditional narratives and exploring deeper philosophical concepts. His work also reflected the changing society of the time, with its focus on industrialization, westward expansion, and the complexities of American identity. Overall, Melville's contributions helped shape American literature and encouraged readers to engage with deeper, more complex ideas about the world.

The Westward Expansion has often been regarded as the central theme of American history. The expansion was the result of a strong desire of Manifest Destiny amongst most Americans. Manifest was a belief that the United States was destined to expand across the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Westward expansion had many effects on America. New forms of transportation such as the Transcontinental Railroad developed, bolstering the nation's economy. Although most changes were positive, some were negative. The westward expansion weakened the Native Americans hold on their sacred lands and onto reservations and threatened to ruin their culture. The positive result of Westward Expansion was the start of the United States. Nowadays, United States is one of the most successful countries in the world, and it all started with Westward Expansion. The movement to the West created a huge country which set up the success of America. Another positive part was the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad. The railroad was built as a result of Westward movement, because the early settlers needed a way to transport goods from the West, such as lumber, to the East, efficiently in order to develop a economy. A negative part, and it is a big negative, was the end of the Native Americans. Of course, there are still Native Americans living today, but back before Westward expansion; they basically had the whole West Coast. They treated their land with care. But when white settlers arrived, they were forced out of their own land and onto reservations. Conflicts between white people and Indians arose because of this, and many people, especially Native American, were killed, and killed brutally. Without Westward Expansion, the United States would not be as successful as it is nowadays. But on the other hand, the Natives were here first and we should have given them respect. Even though it is horrific what happened to the Native Americans as a result of Westward Expansion, without it, America would not be where it is today.

Westward expansion of U.S. holdings and influence. It ultimately lead to the fulfillment of the notion of Manifest Destiny and the expansion of the United States to the whole of it's current domain between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

The consequences of the Pinckney Treaty are various. It not only established the boundary between American and Spanish areas at the 31st parallel, it also opened up the Mississippi River to free trade in areas previously closed off by the Spanish. This, in turn, encouraged further westward expansion by the United States.
