AnswerAmong the first settles of the Oregon country were missionaries who wanted to bring Christianity to Native Americans.I got this answer from my history textbook so I am pretty positive its correct.
Americans began settling in the West in significant numbers during the early to mid-19th century, particularly after the 1840s. The westward expansion was driven by events such as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the California Gold Rush starting in 1848. Settlements primarily occurred in areas like Oregon, California, Texas, and the Great Plains, as people sought new opportunities, land, and resources. This migration was facilitated by trails like the Oregon Trail and policies like the Homestead Act of 1862.
