Immigrants moved west for land primarily due to the promise of economic opportunity and the availability of fertile land for farming. The U.S. government encouraged westward expansion through policies like the Homestead Act, which offered free or low-cost land to settlers. Additionally, many sought to escape overcrowding, poverty, and lack of opportunity in the East, hoping to build better lives for themselves and their families in the West. The allure of adventure and the prospect of prosperity also motivated many to embark on this journey.
