The Northwest Ordinance
The American westward movement in the first half of the nineteenth century was characterized by the idea of manifest destiny, the belief that it was America's destiny to expand westward. This led to the acquisition of territory through treaties, purchases, and wars with Native American tribes and other countries. The movement also brought about the development of new transportation routes, such as the Oregon Trail and the Transcontinental Railroad, to facilitate westward migration.
Following the Civil War industry began to expand westward thanks mostly to the new transcontinental railroad that was recently built. The railroad was part of a period of industrialization.
