People were moving to the Western Territory for economic reasons. This included covered wagon travelers that wanted a better life for themselves and their loved ones. With the expansion of the railroad west, a number of new and booming towns were popping up all over the territory. The founding of gold also turned these towns into havens of commerce literally overnight. No matter what the reasons were for moving west, it was simply America's dream to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This, of course, was known as "manifest destiny".
