Best Answer

Most westward expansion increased right after the civil war due to the mining industry in the west. The civil war caused economic problems. People were looking to start over and "get rich quick". Many people desired to own their own land. Thus the Homestead Act was created.

The building of the transcontinental railroad created more jobs and led to more land being sold and purchased.

The demands for beef in the west and the cattle drives led to ranching and farming.
