In the early 1800s, a significant number of settlers, including farmers and immigrants, moved onto the Great Plains in search of new opportunities. They were motivated by the promise of fertile land and the prospect of starting anew, often driven by the desire for economic improvement and the chance to own land. The U.S. government's policies, such as the Homestead Act of 1862, further incentivized this migration by offering land at little to no cost. Additionally, the idea of Manifest Destiny encouraged many to expand westward, believing it was their right to settle and develop the land.
Many groups of Native Americans were forced to leave their ancestral lands and were moved to reservations in the 1800's.
