Description
Westward Expansion was a major development in the history of the United States. European settlers and the U.S. government wanted to expand into the western parts of the country, which led to the acquisition of new lands and resources. Manifest Destiny was the belief that the United States was meant to grow and expand and that this expansion was justified. It was often used to justify taking over new lands in the western part of the country in the 1800s. Manifest Destiny was based on the idea that the United States had a special mission to spread democracy and “civilization” across the land.
This expansion had negative consequences for Native American communities. Native Americans were forced to leave their ancestral lands and experienced violence and discrimination. The history of Native Americans in the United States has been marked by struggles to preserve their cultural traditions and to assert their rights in the face of unfair treatment by the U.S. government, society, justice system, and citizenry.
