The expansion westward, before, during and after the US Civil War, was an expansion of destruction for Native American Tribal Nations. There were major battles with Federal troops and western settlers. All this eventually led to the Indian Nations to be relocated (against their will ) to Government created reservations. As an aside, this also happened with Canada's westward expansion and in the former territories of Spain, Indian Civilizations were either destroyed or absorbed into the Spanish speaking people who held power in Mexico and South America. Their absorption however still created an Native Indian subset in these societies.
Daniel Boone's blazing of the Wilderness Road led to settlers finding their way west. This, in turn, led to a massive westward expansion.
It led to the expansion of Hellenistic culture.
Two key figures of westward expansion are Lewis and Clark, who led the Corps of Discovery from 1804 to 1806, mapping the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and establishing relations with Native American tribes. Another important figure is John C. Frémont, known as "The Great Pathfinder," whose explorations in the 1840s provided valuable information about the western territories and encouraged settlement. Their contributions played a significant role in shaping America's westward movement and the understanding of the continent's geography.
