The predominant direction of settlement in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries was westward. Many Europeans and their descendants first settled on the East Coast.

Internal migration in the US in the 18th and 19th centuries generally followed the pattern of?
Internal migration in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries generally followed the pattern of settlement first on the East Coast, then to the treeless prairies, next to the West Coast, followed by settlement in the interior. Since most settlers came from Europe or western Africa, they normally first settled close to the Atlantic Ocean. Later, as farmland on the East Coast became harder to obtain, new settlement shifted from the Eastern forests to the treeless prairies, with their fertile soils. In the 1840s, the California gold rush attracted many to California. In the mid-to-late 19th century, the federal government offered incentives -- including the Homestead Act that offered inexpensive or free land -- to encourage settlement in the interior. It should be noted that these movements are generalized patterns and trends; other movements were also occurring at the time.
