西进运动)

美国西进运动开放分类:美国政治西进运动(Westward Movement)是美国人民由北美东部向西部地区开发、移居的过程。
它始自美国建国后,当初移民越过阿巴拉契亚山脉,进入密西西比河以东地区,从19世纪20年代起,移民开始越过密西西比河,进入美国新扩张的地区,40年代,加利福尼亚发现金矿,形成移民的“加利福尼亚热”,19世纪末,西进运动结束。
编辑摘要目录美国西进运动是19世纪美国人口向西部迁移而引起一系列社会活动和社会变革的总称,是美国人对西部的开发过程,也是美国城市化、工业化和美利坚民族大融合的过程。
西进运动彻底改变了美国的面貌:大片荒地被开垦出来,大批的资本主义农场建立起来,西部农业的发展为工业的发展提供了大量的粮食、原料、出口产品和国内市场;使美国的劳动力布局有所改变:促进了国内统一大市场的形成,东西部互补性贸易迅速发展;西部资源的开发和利用还满足了工业发展的需要,交通运输业也飞速发展。
美国的西进运动激发了美国人的创造力和经济活力,提高了美国的综合国力和国际地位,对美国整个国民经济的起飞具有重要的意义,对美国的经济、政治、文化、思想、军事等社会各方面产生了重大影响,同时也是美国文化本土化的发展历程。
美国西进运动 - 历史背景早在北美殖民地时期,向西移民的活动就开始了。
南部的奴隶主、北部的土地投机商和贫苦的老百姓,都希望在西部获得土地。
英国政府为了把殖民地人民限制在能够控制的地方,于1763年颁布了禁止移民越过阿巴拉契亚山脉以西的公告令。
独立革命粉碎了这一规定。
178 3年英美议定了和平解决方案,英国把阿巴拉契亚山以西至密西西比河这一大片印第安人所有的土地,开放给了美国。
1830年5月,A.杰克逊总统通过了《印第安人迁移法》,把印第安人迁到密西西比河以西。
这之后,派军队把印第安人押送出密西西比河以东地区,殖民事业在这一地区迅速发展。
“旧西南部”(包括今肯塔基、田纳西、亚拉巴马、密苏里、密西西比、阿肯色、路易斯安那诸州)的土地,主要被种植园奴隶主占有,成为棉花的主要产地。

• Slaves from the South could have freedom in the new western territories where they settled in all black communities free from white prejudice.
III. The progress of Westward Movement
• The westward movement began in the early 1600's with European settlements along the Atlantic Coast of North America. It continued until the late 1800's. First, some illegal immigrants went into west, and then American government brings these areas into their control. Then, many pioneers located in these areas. At first, pioneers were located in the east of Mississippi River. In the early 19th century, America expended its territory by the way of buying and invasion. In 1803, American government bought the Louisiana from French. From the early age of 19th century, the immigrants move to the west of Mississippi River. By the mid-1840's, adventurous pioneers had reached what are now California and Oregon in the Far West. The last frontier was the Great Plains between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains. The settlement of that region began in the 1860's. In 1862, Lincoln promulgated the homestead law and made the westward movement reach the peak. American Westward Movement is not only the process of original accumulation of capital in the development of capitalism, but also the process of promoting extensive exploitation of the west and rapid development of economy.

☺This expansion also resulted in great suffering, destruction, and cultural loss for the Native Americans of North America.
The Trail of Tears
• The Trail of Tears is a name given to the forced relocation of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The removal included many tribes, who did not wish to assimilate, from their homelands to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. The Native Americans who chose to stay and assimilate were allowed to become citizens in their states and of the U.S. • Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease and starvation and many died on the route to their destinations.

Lewis and Clark Expedition
• Lewis and Clark led the first United States expedition (1804–1806) to the Pacific Coast. • The expedition was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson shortly after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, consisting of a select group of U.S. Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark. • The primary objective was to explore and map the newly acquired territory, find a practical route across the Western half of the continent, and establish an American presence in this territory before Britain and other European powers tried to claim it. • The campaign's secondary objectives were scientific and economic: to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and establish trade with local Indian tribes.

In 1803 the US bought more than 2 million square km from France. The U.S. paid 50 million francs plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs , a total sum of 15 million dollars.(around 4 cents per acre) The transfer of land usually occurred with the use of force. However this one was obtained without any bloodshed. The land in the Louisiana Purchase constitutes 23% of today’s USA. It nearly doubled the size of the young nation, changing its borders from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains.

The Louisiana Purchase
• The purchase of the territory of Louisiana took place during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. At the time, the purchase faced domestic opposition as some argued that it was unconstitutional, though opposition ultimately was not widespread. Jefferson agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain provisions for acquiring territory, but decided to go ahead with the purchase anyway—to remove France's presence in the region and protect both U.S. trade access to the port of New Orleans and free passage on the Mississippi River.
• The desire for good and cheap farmland would be the most powerful attractions for people moving west. • The second common motivation was the hope of practicing their religion without government intervention.
