Land speculators often target new immigrants by purchasing large tracts of land in areas where they anticipate growth due to incoming populations. They then market these properties as affordable housing options or investment opportunities, often at inflated prices. By capitalizing on the immigrants' urgent need for housing and community integration, speculators can sell the land at a significant markup, reaping large profits. This practice can exploit the vulnerabilities of new residents, who may lack familiarity with the local real estate market.

What similarities and differences did mountain men and land speculators have in the ways they earned their living from the land?
Mountain men and land speculators both sought to profit from the American frontier, yet they operated in distinct ways. Mountain men primarily engaged in fur trapping and trading, relying on their skills in wilderness survival and knowledge of the land to harvest natural resources. In contrast, land speculators focused on acquiring and selling parcels of land, often leveraging economic opportunities and market demand. While both groups capitalized on the land's potential, mountain men directly interacted with its resources, whereas land speculators dealt more with its ownership and market value.
