Question

Does the good of Westward Expansion outweigh the bad?

Answer 1

No the good of Westward Expansion cannot be said to outweigh its bad.

What was the westward expansion?

In the 19th century, the westward expansion was the term used to describe the movement of settlers, farmers and other persons down west of America. These areas were already occupied by the original owners. They were pushed out of their lands and it was taken over by the settlers.

This is the major reason why the expansion can be said to be bad. The fact that they took over areas that belonged to others forcefully.

The settlers took the places where the natives lived and farmed. Thy did this and set up their own ranches and economy in the areas that others once owned. Then the homestead act also gave them the rights to own the properties. All of these are the reasons why i  do not consider this expansion as good. I see it as unfair and cruel.
