Many people went west because it was a clean slate, the new frontier, a place of opportunity. Debtors went there to start anew. Newly weds went there to start their lives of cheap wide open land. And with those courageous settlers, came shopkeepers, blacksmith, etc all because they estimated that those settlers would need things and they would be willing to pay them for those things. All in all it was a place of opportunity for everyone who went there.
