The preferred method was via water, using canals and rivers. Many took the Erie Canal into Lake Erie and the Great Lakes to move west.

Wagons and carts were used, often pulled by oxen, as they could later be used to plow fields.

Later on trains transported many settlers to the west.

What result made the native Americans move westward?

The Native Americans were compelled to move westward primarily due to the expansion of European settlers and the U.S. government's policies, including treaties that were often broken.

Additionally, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 facilitated the forced relocation of several tribes, resulting in significant displacement and suffering.
