Americans in the 19th century largely viewed westward expansion as a manifestation of Manifest Destiny, the belief that it was their divine right to spread across the continent. Many were motivated by the promise of land, opportunity, and adventure, while others saw it as a way to escape economic hardships in the East. However, this expansion also led to significant tensions and conflicts with Indigenous peoples and other nations, as well as internal divisions over issues like slavery in the new territories. Overall, the sentiment was mixed, with enthusiasm for opportunity overshadowed by the moral and ethical dilemmas of displacement and conflict.
