What are the differences between the westward movement in the United States and the enclosure movement in Britain?

The enclosure movement in Britain sacrificed the interests of farmers, accumulated original capital, provided cheap hired labor and domestic market for capitalism, and laid the foundation for Britain to develop into a capitalist power.

The westward movement of the United States

The continuous expansion of American territory has attracted a large number of foreign immigrants, which has played a great role in the western development and the rapid development of the entire American economy. Immigration enabled the United States to carry out large-scale agricultural production and develop its rich industrial resources with great strength and scale, which quickly destroyed Britain's industrial monopoly position. The land policy of the American government and the construction of the transcontinental railway accelerated the development of the western region. The territorial expansion and development of the United States to the west has had a great impact on American political and economic life.
