Settlers and trappers pushed farther west primarily in search of new economic opportunities, including fertile land for agriculture and abundant Natural Resources such as fur and minerals. The promise of Manifest Destiny, the belief that Americans were destined to expand across the continent, also fueled this westward movement. Additionally, the lure of adventure and the desire for a fresh start attracted many individuals and families to explore and settle in the western territories.
