After the Civil War, many settlers moved westward to seek new opportunities in the vast territories of the American West. This westward movement was driven by the promise of land, resources, and the chance to start anew, often facilitated by policies like the Homestead Act of 1862. Settlers established farms, towns, and communities, contributing to the expansion of the United States and the development of its frontier regions. However, this migration also led to conflicts with Native American populations and significant changes to the landscape.
Westward expansion led to an economic "boom" in the Midwest, as new cities and markets were connected by rail and canals.
