Pioneer Era

The Pioneer Era, roughly from the early 19th to the late 1800s, was a period of westward expansion in the United States. During this time, settlers moved westward across North America, establishing farms, towns, and communities beyond the original colonies. This era was marked by significant exploration, the development of infrastructure like roads and railroads, and encounters with Native American tribes. It played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s growth, fostering economic opportunities, and creating the cultural landscape of the American frontier.
