    Westward Expansion impacted them socially by taking the Native Americans culture from them. More specifically by killing their tribes, taking them off of their reservations and forcing them to learn to act like white settlers, taking their tents so they are unable to move around and putting them in schools to learn English and how to work. They are affected economically/geographically by having their main resources taken away from them. The white settlers took their buffalo, timber and land in the name of Westward Expansion, making it hard for the Natives as those things are what they mainly used for survival.

    West bond settlers could find work in two major lines of employment ranching and agriculture or mining. However, these fields were hard for a settler to prosper in and neither were particularly lucrative. Mining was expensive for an individual to do just starting out, without any capital to fund their effort. Working for a Corporate Mine was dangerous, hard work for little pay. Ranching and agriculture also required the capital to gain the land to establish a ranching operation or to obtain the cattle necessary to have a successful agricultural business.…

    The impacts of the exploration cannot be ignored since this changed the lives of the first Americans. Some of the positive impacts include the change of lifestyle, from being a tribe of hunting and gathering to a tribe that could trade with others and exchange goods. Despite the diseases coming along, some members of the tribe managed to survive the illness and gained victory to their names.

    The amount of lives lost, land ripped up from under whole colonies and tribes, political conflicts that arose...some would say Westward Expansion was an injustice act to commit. The Natives were in America before any other settler was. They believed it was their destiny from God to own the land they had been given by God. One question is “How could moving Westward be America’s destiny if it was already someone else’s?” When the Americans came across on Native American land, wars started to break loose.…

    After the Civil War, many people moved to the Far West due to its wet and lush territory, high mountains, flat plains, treeless prairies and great forests. These different societies that developed in the “Far West” included the Western Tribes, the Spanish, Chinese immigrants and white settlers. Firstly, the Plains Indians, the most powerful of the Indian tribes, adapted to the new environment of the Far West by hunting buffalo, which was a big part of their livelihood as they used it for their food and clothing. They also relied a lot on horses, which was first introduced by the Europeans. However, the Indians also faced some disadvantages, such as their vulnerability to diseases and their inability to unite as a result of their internal conflicts,…

Hygiene also played a role in being another obstacle and some of it was due to the lack of proper medical care. Settlers could easily become sick and if they did not treat illnesses as soon as possible, the settlers could die.

    If I was a poor uneducated white twenty-five year old male from a farm family in england around 1730 and I was given the choice to settle in one of the following; the New England, the middle, or the southern colonies, I would choose the New England. I would choose this region mainly because eliminating the south as a place to settle is easy because of how difficult life was there compared to New England.

    The idea behind the West is very different than the reality. Similarly, between then and now, is the interest in the outlaws of the west, gun-slinging justice, cowboys and Indians, bronco busting, buffalo hunting etc. Writers like William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who was both a fictional, and non fictional person, had a knack for blending history and myths. Great stories were being told of men dueling it out for justice in the streets, and cowboys righteously fighting and murdering Indians. Most of the stories written, and movie productions depict what the actual West was like.…
