What are social positives of western expansion?

From a social standpoint, there were positive aspects of our expansion to the West. Westward expansion refers to the movement of the American people to western regions. This occurred in the 1800s.

When we expanded westward, we were able to spread our way of life. Americans were known for their ingenuity and for their ability to settle and to develop new lands. As we moved to the West, our economy began to grow. Farming spread to the western regions. This helped to increase the food supply. We also spread the American culture and ways of doing things from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Because of westward expansion, we were able to unite and connect people who lived in remote regions. It became easier to reach those people. It also became easier to transport products to these regions. The transcontinental railroad was a big factor in supporting the positive aspects of our westward movement.

With our expansion to the western regions, people from different parts of the world came to settle and to get land. Some of these people settled in the West. The people who came to our country brought new ideas and new ways of living. These ideas and ways of living enhanced our culture.
