Jefferson realized that the American West was not an empty wilderness, but a land crowded by conflicting
nations and claims of sovereignty.
In seeking to establish, what he called "an empire for liberty," Jefferson influenced the country's policies toward
Native Americans and the extension of slavery into the West.
Despite a life-long interest in Native American culture, President Jefferson advocated policies that would
dislocate Native Americans and their way of life.
In 1784, Jefferson opposed the extension of slavery into the northwest territory, but he later supported its
westward extension because he feared that any restriction of slavery could lead to a civil war and an end to the
nation.
At the end of his presidency, Jefferson looked forward to a United States that spread across the entire
continent of North America.
