(asap! will give brainliest to the first answer! ) how did mexican independence encourage the westward expansion of american citizens? a) it allowed trade routes to develop in the southwest and opened up a previously closed lands to settlement by american citizens b) a strong spanish army had previously prevented american westward migration c) native americans ignored american settlers in order to focus on driving the newly formed nation from their lands d) the newly formed mexican government built an extensive network of trails and roads, allowing for easier migration by american citizens

Westward expansion caused Native Americans to lose their traditional resources, including the buffalo, homelands, hunting grounds and sacred land. Native Americans were confined on reservations, forbidden to practice their religions and they lost their traditional dress and customs. Native Americans also lost many people due to the spread of disease and starvation.

result of the incas claiming exclusive right over numerous traditional routes, some of which had been constructed centuries earlier mostly by the wari empire

they had many gains 1 one freedom for slaves the major cause of the civil war is that the   north wanted freedom for slaves but the south didn; t creaitng the civil war

another gain they have is poltiical influence

poltiical influence is a big thing everywhere even now peoplle are always trying to get the head up in poltics thats what they did by giving the republicians a good name for freeing slaves
