The "Iron Horse" is a term used to describe the steam locomotive, which revolutionized transportation during the 19th century. Its expansion across North America facilitated westward migration and the development of railroads, significantly impacting Native American communities by disrupting their traditional lands and ways of life. The construction of railroads often led to the displacement of tribes, loss of hunting grounds, and increased encroachment by settlers, further exacerbating tensions and conflicts. Overall, the Iron Horse symbolized both technological progress and the detrimental effects of colonization on Indigenous populations.
