The cost to the Westward expansion was that many Indian Tribes were annihilated as were some of the soldiers in the American army. It depends on what battle you are looking at that gained some of the property in the West. Some battles ended with the Indians becoming slaughtered and some, including the battle with General Custer, ended with Americans dying. So, the amount of battles and Indians lost was a major cost. A benefit was, obviously, gaining territory in the West... therefore creating the name "Westward Expansion". And gaining that territory, we found gold and expanded our technology such as train transportation.
