Technology played a crucial role in encouraging westward expansion in the United States by improving transportation and communication. The development of the steam engine facilitated the growth of railroads, making it faster and easier to travel and transport goods across vast distances. Additionally, innovations such as the telegraph allowed for quicker communication, connecting remote settlements with the East. These advancements made the prospect of settling and developing the western territories more feasible and attractive to many Americans.
