Final answer:

American expansion in the 1800s had both positive and negative consequences on social, cultural, and religious aspects of American society.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the positive side, American expansion in the 1800s resulted in greater mobility among the American people. Settlers staked claim to land, providing raw materials for factories in the Northeast and prompting political changes towards universal white male suffrage.

However, there were negative consequences, such as increased demands on slaves, workers having to rely on wages, and conflicts with Native Americans.
