Economic hardships (panics and depressions) in the East pushed Americans to the West.
The West had abundant, inexpensive, and often free, land. This not only attracted eastern Americans, but poor, landless Europeans as well.
The British had their eyes on the West as well. Prior to the Annexation of Texas, Britain had established a friendly relationship with the Republic of Texas. They were interested in trading with Texas and keeping the U.S from expanding West. In order to limit British influence in America, the United States decided to Annex Texas in 1845.
The effects of the black codes were that the newly freed slaves had a difficult time creating self-sustaining lives and the white slave owners were given an abundance of cheap labor options.
