One of the primary factors that encouraged Americans to move west in the 1800s was the promise of land and economic opportunity, particularly following the passage of the Homestead Act of 1862, which offered settlers free land in exchange for cultivating it. Additionally, the allure of resources such as gold during the California Gold Rush and the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent—fueled westward migration. The availability of new transportation methods, like railroads, also made the journey more accessible.
