i think the horse gets too much credit in that regard. if we had to move west using oxen, the move would still have been made. our growth had more to do with escaping homelands, escaping crowding, wanting a new start, avoiding religious issues, and being far from other countries, giving us room and time to grow. but it's more romantic to just thank horses.
after all, native americans had horses-fat lot of good it did them.
