Between 1815 and 1840, several developments encouraged white settlers to move to the Midwest. The federal government promoted westward expansion through policies like the Homestead Act, which provided land incentives. Improved transportation, including the construction of canals and railroads, facilitated access to the region. Additionally, the promise of fertile land for agriculture and the availability of resources attracted many settlers seeking new opportunities.
In the Midwest-Great Lakes region, fur, particularly beaver pelts, was a valuable item heavily traded between Native Americans and settlers. The fur trade became a significant economic driver in the area, with European settlers relying on Native American knowledge and networks to source these pelts. This trade not only facilitated economic exchanges but also led to profound cultural interactions and conflicts between the two groups.
Between 1803 and 1860, the Midwest underwent significant changes, primarily due to westward expansion and the growth of agriculture. The region transformed from a largely uninhabited wilderness into a thriving agricultural hub, attracting settlers and immigrants drawn by the promise of fertile land. The introduction of new transportation systems, such as canals and railroads, facilitated trade and movement, further integrating the Midwest into the national economy. Additionally, this period saw the rise of cities and increased cultural diversity as various communities established themselves throughout the region.
