Many American settlers traveled west to take advantage of the Homestead Act, which promised free land. Many headed there simply because it was new territory, and as a result, there was plenty of opportunity for everyone. Problems were numerous. The Homestead Act applied to land in the Great Plains area, which were difficult to farm, subject to high dangerous winds, and were in Native American territory. Settlers not only had to expect attacks from Native Americans, but some opportunistic criminals preyed upon them during their journey as well.
