During the period of Salutary Neglect, which occurred during the 17th and 18th centuries, the British government adopted a policy of lax enforcement of trade regulations and minimal intervention in the internal affairs of the American colonies. However, there were no explicit policies promoting westward expansion. The expansion westward into Native American territories largely occurred due to the actions and motivations of the colonists themselves, rather than as a result of any specific policy from the British government.
