1 The west movement in the contemporary American history is known as a process of a large scaled colonial expansion, further opening-up of the western territory, urbanization, industrialization and national merging in the States. It began after the North American War of Independence, reached the climax in the mid-19th century, and basically ended in the late 19th century. It almost ran throughout the entire process of modernization of the United States.
The westward movement in American history can be divided into three phases, accompanied by three major migration flows. First, from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, large numbers of immigrants crossed the Mountain Appalachians and opened up the Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee areas. The second phase began in 1815, the immigrants moved towards two directions: one part opened up the north region of the Ohio River, and another part went into the plain areas between southern Georgia and Louisiana. The third phase began in the mid-19th century, along with the territorial expansion of the U.S. government, a large number of immigrants continued to move westward to the direction of the Pacific coast. Until 1890, the Westward Movement formally ended.
Westward Movement was an incident with far-reaching and significant impact on the history of the United States. It has significant influence on the U.S. economy, politics and society. Politically, it has helped establish the modern territory of the United States and lay the foundation of the modern United States. Economically, it has not only developed vast western lands, established the grain and fruit base, and provided a vast domestic market and adequate raw materials for industrial development, but also laid the foundation of industrial development, and changed the industrial structures and focus. Culturally, immigrants from different countries and nationalities integrated into a whole part and formed a unique national character.
2 Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks to God for the harvest and express gratitude to others for our many blessings. While historically religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.
