The westward expansion of the United States has become a symbol of the nation as a whole. In less then two centuries since its independence from British rule, America grew from its original thirteen states to fifty. With each push westward, tales of extraordinary challenges and endeavors emerged. In its wake, the movement left a timeline of conflicts and larger than life characters that we should never forget.

  • The "Mediterranean World" was in fact the Roman Empire. The colonization and westward expansion accross the Americas was just a continuation of the spread of Western Civilization as demonstrated by Roman tradition. It should also be noted that Germany was the legitimate inheritor of Roman authority & culture and the German Reich was nothing less than a Modern Roman empire. WW1 & WW2 crushed German hegemony in Europe & set Protestant Yankees loose on Humanity !

  • @Avalon400 All human history is one of more powerful groups of humans controlling and warring with other less powerful groups. Africans in Africa and Native Americans in the Americas did not need whites to teach them to how to hate, kill, torture, enslave, and carry ethnocentric views. Hutu and Tutsi despise each and think themselves genetically superior to the other. Typical blame the white man "noble savage" PC crap. Really, NAZI's needed the inspiration of early America?

  • The overrunning of the huge American continent by techologically superior invaders out of North-West Europe laid the foudation for many beliefs in the racial superiority of Northern Europeans. The racialists who inspired the Nazis took much of their inspiration from the American example.
