In Colonial America, settlers of European-heritage (or, White) entered, occupied, and 'civilized' the American Northwest through a combination of individual initiative and government-sponsored legislation and other actions (such as officially sponsored surveying and exploration). It should be noted that the original 'Northwest' consisted of the modern 'Midwest' of America, although the same pattern was repeated for the current (that is, Pacific) Northwest later in the development of the United States.
