Westward Expansion

Westward Expansion provides insights into the westward migration of settlers to the western part of the United States. The book recounts that the migration provided new opportunities for settlement and advancement for the settlers.

But at the same time westward migration dramatically changed the landscape and lives of the native animals and peoples.

Students will learn that the introduction of rapid travel via newly laid railroads enabled the movement of thousands of settlers, while at the same time negatively impacting the world that had been there before.
