There was no opposition to the westward expansion of the US. The first available westward movement came with the Treaty of Paris, where England gave to the 13 colonies all land east of the Mississippi River. Also, the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 set the groundwork for westward expansion.

Westward expansion changed the culture of America because the land had previously been owned by Mexico, France, Britain, ect.

How did Americans feel about expanding westward?

Americans in the 19th century largely viewed westward expansion as a manifestation of Manifest Destiny, the belief that it was their divine right to spread across the continent. Many were motivated by the promise of land, opportunity, and adventure, while others saw it as a way to escape economic hardships in the East. However, this expansion also led to significant tensions and conflicts with Indigenous peoples and other nations, as well as internal divisions over issues like slavery in the new territories. Overall, the sentiment was mixed, with enthusiasm for opportunity overshadowed by the moral and ethical dilemmas of displacement and conflict.

How did manifest destiny alter people's lives in the United States?

Manifest Destiny was the belief that Americans would expand westward, and that was God's will or something like that. Through manifest destiny, the government wanted to obtain the land westward such as the louisiana purchase, hawaii, cuba. All their territorial expansion. Involvement in conquering these territories resulted in a ton of land for the american people, money, resources which were obtained through wars. Along the lines, America gained some foes, and also established power by expanding their nation. As Americans gained more land, the citizens had new opportunites (in the new lands). Some decided to create utopian societies (which didn't really work out in the end); some established ethnic neighborhoods. Others created homesteads. Remember that farming was a lot more common back then, especially in the west (newest land).
