Critical Thinking Questions  
 
 
What conclusions can you draw about the westward expansion that occurred between 1760 and 1775? What factors helped to spur that expansion?




What does the fact that expansion westward continued during the War for Independence suggest about the role that the desire for territorial acquisition played in the shaping of American national consciousness?




Taking the waves of westward expansion together, what do they tell you about the territorial status of the United States by 1790?
