    The correct answers are A) It accelerated migration to the West Coast and D) It added an additional slave state to the country.

    The discovery of gold in California impacted western expansion in that it accelerated migration to the West Coast and it added an additional slave state to the country.

    After the United States purchased the Louisiana territory in 1803, US President Thomas Jefferson ordered the exploration of the new territories with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Two years later, both explorers delivered the results of their exploration and President Jefferson supported the occupation of those lands. So the westward expansion started. Thousands of people started to move west using the Oregon Trail to fulfill the Manifested Destiny.
