Expansion into the “US West” was facilitated by all of the following except:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks us to identify which factor did NOT facilitate expansion into the US West.
Option 1: The automobile. While the automobile later enabled mobility and frontier accessibility, especially in the 20th century, it was not a primary facilitator of expansion into the US West during the earlier periods of westward growth. Other forces played more immediate roles in early expansion.
Option 2: Native American land dispossession. This was a grim, but real, factor that enabled settlers to push westward by clearing land and creating opportunities for colonization and settlement, often through displacement of indigenous peoples.
Option 3: River travel. Rivers provided critical routes for exploration, trade, and transport of people and goods into the western regions, making expansion more feasible and attractive.
Option 4: Mapping and exploration. Systematic exploration, surveying, and mapping of the West opened up knowledge of the terrain, resources, and routes, which directly supported settlement and economic expansion.
Option 5: Previously established towns and cities. Existing settlements served as hubs that drew people further west, supplied frontier outposts, and created networks that facilitated expansion.
Taken together, all of these factors except the automobile historically served as immediate or earlier drivers of expansion into the US West, since the automobile’s rise to prominence occurred later and did not primarily drive initial westward expansion.
