<em><strong>American Progress</strong></em>
<strong>Weatward expansion, Manifest Destiny</strong>
<p><strong>This painting is an allegorical representation of the modernization of the new west. Here Columbia, a personification of the United States, leads civilization westward with American settlers, stringing telegraph wire as she sweeps west; she holds a school book as well. The different stages of economic activity of the pioneers are highlighted and, especially, the changing forms of transportation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This painting has come to represent the ideal of Manifest Destiny.<br /></strong></p>
