When Robert Morgan wrote “No True History of Westward Expansion”, he used it to express his opinion about the history of westward expansion. I agree with morgan that history justs talks about the leaders and the figures of the eras or of movements.Morgan accurately identifies that history just talks on its own by using these central ideas: “history is not made up of just a few heros and villians”, and “Average citizens were responsible for westward expansion”. This essay will also use other text to support the claim will mainly be using these three texts: “Thomas Jefferson’s America, 1801” --Stephen Ambrose “Reporting to the President, September 23- December 31, 1806” (pages 418-21), “No True History of Westward Expansion” and “Chief Joseph Speaks…” --Chief Joseph.

Because in “Thomas Jefferson’s America, 1801” --Stephen Ambrose “Reporting to the President, September 23- December 31, 1806” (pages 418-21),if there was only a few heroes in history we might not have had the expedition of Lewis and Clark. Because Lewis and Clark couldn't have done the expedition alone because the expediton required a lot more manpower than just them two. This also builds on the other central idea “Average citizens were responsible for westward expansion”.
Morgan made a lot of valid points when he said, “Average citizens were responsible for westward expansion”. Because in the story “No True History of Westward Expansion” he said when Andrew Jackson won at the battle of Horseshoe Bend but people only remember Jackson but not the people who died to win the battle. Also he explains that Thomas Jefferson wasn't the reason for westward expansion but was a major catalyst he did set America on the road to it. Chief Joseph also build on to these ideas in “Chief Joseph
