Lecture 3 - Land & Westward Expansion
"Manifest destiny was on the march, and it was unfortunate that Mexico stood in the path." - Winston Churchill
Even before the British had surrendered Americans were pushing into the wilderness and repeatedly redefining the westernmost limits of the country.
This leapfrog of commerce, conflict, and settlement surged for almost a century under the framework of the Northwest Ordinance (NWO). To this day the NWO provides a path to statehood, though the designation has never been guaranteed in practice.
Interwoven in the story of new settlements was the absence of an exogenous enforcer. In its place, emergent phenomena created communities of varying success, something we'll dig into during our discussion of Collective Action.
