Some people found that they couldn't settle down in the east where a lot of rules were being changed, and there were man riots, so they moved west to find land that isn't populated yet. It was hard for them to get west because of all the different kinds of land and the weather. People weren't always carrying the best supplies. They could run out of fod easily or get sick. Or they could die from having to climb mountains to go more west.
