Westward expansion in the United States was driven by opportunities for land ownership and new beginnings. The concept of Manifest Destiny held that it was America's destiny to expand across the continent. Settlers faced obstacles in the Great Plains like lack of water and wood, but technological advances like railroads, barbed wire, steel plows, and windmills helped overcome these challenges and opened the Plains to farming. Farmers adapted techniques such as sod houses, dry farming, cattle ranching, and wheat farming to the harsh environment. However, expansion displaced Native Americans and led to conflicts as settlers took over their lands.
