It helped to promote economic growth. If you're a farmer that needs to sell his product out of the middle of nowhere, where he lives, you need a way to get your product to market. Or if you're a mining company, you need a way to get your coal sold to other companies. Railroads in the 1800s provided the answer for many people that wanted to sell commodities, such as vegetables, fruits, and meat, as well as non-food items like barbed wire, coal, and wood.

Explain why westward expansion was a natural progression for the nation.
Zina [86]

Westward expansion was a natural progression for the nation because the most powerful entities came from the East (England). It is only natural that they spread out and conquer/capture/kill/annihilate those in their way (the true Americans/Native Americans). In doing so they conquered a whole land and taught them their ways while spreading West.
