The U.S. sought to expand westward for several reasons, including the belief in Manifest Destiny, which held that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. This expansion was driven by a desire for new land for agriculture, economic opportunities, and the spread of democracy and American ideals. Additionally, westward expansion offered the promise of Natural Resources and new markets, fueling the nation's growth and prosperity. The desire to displace Native American populations and assert U.S. dominance over the continent also played a significant role.
