The Pioneers viewed the Wilderness Road as a vital pathway for westward expansion, symbolizing opportunity and new beginnings as they sought land and resources. In contrast, Native Americans in Kentucky perceived this encroachment as a threat to their ancestral lands, culture, and way of life, leading to conflicts over territory and resources.

This clash of perspectives highlights the tension between expansionist ambitions and the rights of Indigenous peoples.
