The westward Expansion started after the gold rush in 1849.
It began to diversify the people. Those in the east had different experiences than those in the west so difference began to arise.
The westward expansion may have been difficult for Georgia due to the terrain. There are mountains and swampland to the west of Georgia.
Native Americans.
Free states and slave states both wanted to see their ideas extend to the west. Americans who moved west took their different ways of life with them. This was a conflict for Missouri because they believed in slavery.
Westward expansion created territories that eventually wished to become States. Every application for Statehood prior to the Civil War increased sectional tension because of the need to balance "free" and "slave" States in Congress.

Missouri Compromise
Not really. James was born in Missouri, a generation or two after Missouri had already become a state. Missouri was thickly settled by that time. By the time James was born in 1847 the frontier of westward expansion had already moved hundreds of miles farther west from Missouri.

During westward expansion, the U.S. government attempted to address the issue of slavery through a series of legislative compromises, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, and established a line dividing free and slave territories. The Compromise of 1850 further tried to balance interests by allowing California to enter as a free state while strengthening the Fugitive Slave Act. However, these measures ultimately failed to resolve tensions, contributing to the sectional conflict that led to the Civil War.
Westward expansion
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 temporarily settled the dispute over the westward expansion of slavery. It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, Maine as a free state, and prohibited slavery north of the 36°30′ parallel in the Louisiana Territory.
Slavery played a significant role in westward expansion in the United States. The expansion of slavery into new territories and states fueled sectional tensions between the North and South, eventually leading to the American Civil War. The issue of whether new states would allow or prohibit slavery was a major factor in determining the balance of power between the free and slave states, and ultimately the course of westward expansion.
