Beyond abolishing slavery in the United States, the Civil war was a pivotal event in American history for a number of reasons. One major importance of the war was that the Union retained its territorial integrity and the South was not able to secede from the Union or defeat the Northern forces. Also as a result of the war the Northern States were able to assert political dominance and a degree or retribution through the reconstruction efforts.
Manifest Destiny was a philosophy that considered the United States was divinely ordained, justifiable and inevitable to expand its borders.
This philosophy encouraged the convergence of social, economic, and political factors helped urge the speed of westward expansion in the 19th century. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 people were driven to the west, white settlers and proponents of expansion began to voice concerns over what they considered an obstacle to settlement - The American Indian tribes that lived there -. White settlers considered the lands east of the Mississippi River a great place to raise cattle, wheat, and cotton.
The convergence of Manifest Destiny and the need to expand was used to rationalize the removal of American Indians from their native homelands. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law and authorized the president to reserve land west of the Mississippi River and exchange it for Native American land to the east of the Mississippi.

The act was passed by congressmen Fred A Hartley and his republican colleague who have felt the need for curbing the Wagner act which had provided over-arching powers to the labour unions.
Under the Taft-Hartley Act, not only the right of workers to form unions was protected but also member’s right to defy the union leaders to call for territorial strikes or to take harmful action against workers was expanded. In a nutshell, the act cut short the power of the union to subdue the economic growth prospects, profits as well as opportunities of the individual worker.
