Why were Americans so driven to expand across the continent? Was it simple greed, or did they have a different reason? Provide at least one piece of evidence in your answer.

Explanation:

However, there was a need to find more fertile and arable land where they could establish more productive agriculture, which would give the nation more profits. Agriculture in this case became a necessity and a form of ambition, since it could generate a lot of profit.
