Reflect on what you have learned about Westward Expansion in the United States. Think about the territories acquired, the trails
west, the immigrant groups, and the Transcontinental Railroad. What role did each of these play in the fulfillment of Manifest Destiny (the belief that the United States was destined to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean)? I need help small paragraph plz!!
The acquiring of the territories gave the United States justification to send out immigrants into those territories and settle the land along the trails created by traders and trappers beforehand. These immigrants and other workers then set up the Transcontinental Railroad to facilitate trade and transport back and forth from the west coast to the east.
I think the final version of the US Constitution created a political system that gave just enough power to the central government. I also think the Great Compromise created a functional and fair representative congress.
