Jedediah Smith was a pivotal figure in the westward expansion of the United States, significantly influencing the concept of Manifest Destiny. As a frontiersman, explorer, and fur trapper, he was the first American to travel overland to California through the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains and the Mojave Desert, helping to open new routes for settlers. His journeys and detailed accounts of the western territories inspired many to migrate westward, reinforcing the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. Smith's explorations contributed to a greater understanding of the geography and resources of the West, further fueling the drive for expansion.
