The reaper, invented by Cyrus McCormick in 1831, significantly impacted westward expansion by revolutionizing agriculture. It allowed farmers to harvest crops more efficiently and with less labor, which enabled them to cultivate larger areas of land. This efficiency supported the settlement of the Great Plains and other western territories, attracting more settlers seeking economic opportunities. Consequently, the reaper contributed to the growth of agricultural production and the establishment of thriving communities in the West.
