The flood of new settlers in the West during the 19th century was primarily driven by factors such as the promise of land and economic opportunity, facilitated by policies like the Homestead Act of 1862, which offered free or low-cost land to settlers. The discovery of gold and other resources in states like California and Colorado also attracted thousands seeking fortune. Additionally, advancements in transportation, such as the expansion of railroads, made travel to the West more accessible and appealing for many families and individuals.
