Westward expansion

摘要

In 1803, President Jefferson bought a whole bunch of territory from the French so that Americans could move into it, hunt buffalo, and build railroads and shopping malls. Historians called this 19th century phenomenon America's "Westward Expansion." But times have changed. Mention "Westward Expansion" today and people think you mean weight gain. Putting a spare tire around your middle. Personally, I get this modern type of westward expansion, and also eastward expansion, from enjoying Old Rottslager and kolbassi.
