Americans moved westward primarily during the 19th century driven by factors such as the promise of land, economic opportunities, and the ideology of Manifest Destiny. The westward expansion was facilitated by various means, including the construction of railroads, wagon trains, and the Oregon Trail. Many settlers were attracted by the availability of fertile land and the prospect of a better life, leading to rapid population growth in western territories. This migration often resulted in significant impacts on Indigenous populations and the environment.
