- USA: The American Indians and Westward expansion is significant to the U.S.A because we broke treaty's, betrayed people and made enemies out of the natives.

Westward expansion made the U.S grow more than 525,000 sq miles of land. Natives: The Westward expansion impacted natives by pushing them out of their homes, betraying tribes, killing people, and speaking ill all because of entitlement.
