After settled groups began to thrive during the period of westward expansion in the United States:

  1. Communities and towns emerged, fostering economic and social growth.
  2. Infrastructure such as roads, schools, and businesses developed to support the growing populations.
  3. Conflicts often arose between settlers and indigenous peoples over land and resources, leading to tensions and sometimes violence.
  4. The expansion led to increased cultural diversity and the formation of distinct regional identities across the expanding territories.
  5. Settlers established local governance systems and institutions to manage their communities and territories.
