What did john sutter contribute to westward expansion?

John Sutter was a Swiss immigrant who played a significant role in westward expansion through his establishment of Sutter's Fort in California in 1839. The fort served as a vital supply and trade center for settlers moving westward, providing shelter and resources. Sutter's discovery of gold on his land in 1848 further accelerated the California Gold Rush, attracting thousands of prospectors and settlers to the region. His contributions helped shape the development of California and the broader westward movement in the United States.


What is the the acquisition territorial in the westward expansion?

The acquisition territorial during the westward expansion refers to the United States' expansion of its territory westward across North America in the 19th century. Key events included the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the size of the nation, and the annexation of Texas in 1845. The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) further expanded U.S. territory, resulting in the acquisition of present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and more through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This expansion was driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent.
