Westward Expansion

On your sheet of paper, copy the following: 3 reasons why we went west: 1) 2) 3) Manifest Destiny: How does Manifest Destiny relate to nationalism? 3 internal improvements we used to get west:

Why go west? Most Americans wanted to own their own land! Gold! Other natural resources! Spread religion It’s natural for us! The US is destined to stretch across North America

Manifest Destiny People began to believe: It was the obvious fate of the United States to expand from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. We should literally expand “from sea to shining sea”

American Progress

How does Manifest Destiny relate to nationalism? Americans believed we were superior to other nations Why?  Most Americans (at that time) shared the Protestant religion, language, ancestry, and culture It was our duty to expand all of these to the Pacific Ocean

Immigration West Between 1840 and 1860, more than 250,000 people made the trek westward.

How did we get there? Trails Use of internal improvements Wagon Trains Oregon Trail Mormon Trail Santa Fe Trail Use of internal improvements Canals Roads / Turnpikes Wagon Trains
