Which turning point would best start an era called "westward expansion"?

History

Hmm, there were several triggering events that promoted westward expansion of the United States.  Victory in war over Mexico (1848) gave the US new lands in the west.  A treaty with Britain (also in 1848) gave the US sole possession of some formerly disputed Oregon territory lands also. Plus, in 1848, gold was discovered in California (land newly in US possession after that Mexican war treaty), so that prodded westward expansion too.  Perhaps those are the initial "turning points" you're looking for. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 sure helped the process as it was underway, as well.

How did the Haitian revolution affect the United States
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Having lost his control of the Caribbean landholding, Napoleon saw no further use for Louisiana. The US was only interested in the New Orleans area; however, the revolution enabled the sale of the entire territory west of the Mississippi River for around $15 million. This purchase more than doubled US territory.
