The Westward Expansion was created because people moved to one spot to be able to create a state. The Civil War was created by the industrial north and the less populated agrarian south fought over state's rights issues, tariffs, and lopsided northern representation in Congress. Slavery was a very minor issue at the time. So what led to the Westward Movement of the Civil War? Unemployment and a largely destroyed South (homes, cities, bridges, downtown buildings, railroads, farms, and families) Primarily Southerners headed west, to begin new lives, in a new land.

What effect did the civil war have on the western movement?

After the war, policies such as the Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement by offering land to settlers, while the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 facilitated transportation and trade.
