Following the French and Indian War (Seven Years War in Europe), France no longer presented a threat to the westward migration of American colonists. With the British expected to protect the colonists from the Indians, many wanted to move west to acquire land, seek adventure, and establish farms and towns and businesses. The main reason was to improve the lot of the colonist and his family.
The westward Expansion started after the gold rush in 1849.
The basis of the economy in the Southern American colonies was tobacco and cotton exports. As the colonies expanded westward, and later when much of the South was part of the USA, cotton exports expanded. There was demand for cotton in England as well as in the New England textile mills.
The process of westward migration is referring to an exponentially important element of American history. It is the term that describes the expansion that took place during the times of the Continental United States. It explains that the colonies branched westward during that time, contributing to what we now know as The United States of America (instead of what was once known as The Continental US).
The Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains have influenced migration patterns in America. The Rocky Mountains acted as a natural barrier to westward expansion, while the Appalachian Mountains presented a barrier to early settlers moving westward from the eastern colonies.
