The U.S. government gained control over lands in the Western Territory primarily through treaties, purchases, and military force. Key events included the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the nation's size, and treaties with Native American tribes that often involved coercion or manipulation.

This process was marked by legislation such as the Homestead Act, which encouraged settlement by giving away land to American citizens.
