The Civil War significantly accelerated the western movement in the United States by prompting the federal government to focus on westward expansion as a means of economic recovery and national unity. After the war, policies such as the Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement by offering land to settlers, while the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 facilitated transportation and trade. Additionally, the war's aftermath saw an influx of veterans seeking new opportunities and land in the West, further driving the expansion. Overall, the Civil War shifted attention and resources towards the development of the western territories, shaping the nation's future.
