What made people from eastern cities want to move west after the US Civil War
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/17

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.

Everyone from adventuresome people , to entrepeneurs , scammers
, and the desperate. Everyone saw the opportunity differently, but
it was an important part of expansion Westward in the US, and it
worked well . If not, we'd all still be living in Kansa City, so
personally, I am very grateful to those hardy pioneer men and women
who eventually made it possible for us to expand to West Coast.
Those that lingered in the Plains states are still very important
to our food supply to this day . I salute each and every one of
them.
White Americans, freed slaves, and immigrants.
