Moving to the west
Most people who settled the West under the Homestead Act sought the opportunity for land ownership and the chance to improve their economic circumstances. This act provided 160 acres of public land for a small fee, encouraging families and individuals to cultivate the land and build a new life. Many were motivated by the promise of independence, the pursuit of prosperity, and the desire to escape overcrowded conditions in the East. Ultimately, they aimed to achieve a better future through agriculture and self-sufficiency.
