By 1825, 25% of Americans took the risk of moving West. There was a lot of land, but they had a big chance of being attacked by Natives. There was also the Napoleonic Wars which ruined American trade and they couldn't stay neutral. We decided to stop trading with Britain and France which destroyed our economy. There was also Lewis and Clark who were sent out by Jefferson to map the land, make peace with the Natives, and find the nonexisting Northwest Passage.
