The people on the Oregon Trail wanted to go the Oregon territory, or what is now Washington and Oregon. Why? because the letters and rumors of Oregon Territory's rich and natural beauty. The people wanted to go west for many reasons; to explore, to get free farmland, and to build homes, farms, towns, and after a wile, cities. The trail was also the fastest way to Oregon.

The Mormon Trail was used by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Commonly called "Mormons") in their search to find religious freedom in the western United States.
The people used it to find new land, new settlements na dstarted to make a community out of what they had
The Oregon Trail. In 1843, a large wagon train of 1,000 people went on the journey on a path called, "The Oregon Trail" to find new land and new lives. These settlers did not know they were about to make either the best choice of their lives or the worst choice they have ever made. The Oregon trail became popular after people started to find out how many people actually made it to their destination so they started to move to. So many people had made it but not all could see what life was like at their dream home in another land. Between 1840 and 1860 The California Trail had attracted over 250,000 thousand people, but the Oregon Trail attracted well over 300,000 farmers, business men, miners and pioneers.
Yes. Tens of thousands of Mormons travelled the Mormon Trail between 1845 and 1870, they all packed what they could, although some had very tight restrictions on how much they could bring simply because it was difficult to find space to carry personal belongings when you needed to carry a few months worth of provisions.
