because they thought owned the land.through the applachian mountains
No one "invented" it. It was a route settlers took to go to Oregon.
The Cumberland Gap
Wilderness Road
Yo Mama , Uglahh Niqqah ! ^Wtf. It was the Wilderness Road.
The expedition of Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth was unusual because it was the first successful European expedition to find a route across the Blue Mountains. Instead of following the river gullies as all previous expeditions had done, the explorers sought a route over the ridges, and this was why they succeeded where all previous expeditions had failed. The route they traversed is essentially still the one used by travellers driving over the mountains today. Their exploration was significant because the discovery of a traversible route over the Blue Mountains meant that the colony of Sydney could now expand to the rich grasslands on the other side.

what route did the settlers take going west of the appalachian mountains
Settlers crossing the Appalachian Mountains primarily used the Wilderness Road, which was blazed by Daniel Boone in the late 18th century. This trail extended through the Cumberland Gap, providing a vital route for pioneers moving westward into Kentucky and beyond. The Wilderness Road facilitated the migration of thousands of settlers seeking new opportunities in the frontier.
Settlers began to move west of the Appalachian Mountains in search of new land for farming, economic opportunities, and the promise of a better life. The availability of fertile land and resources, along with the lure of the American Dream, motivated this migration. Most settlers took the Wilderness Road, which passed through the Cumberland Gap, allowing them to navigate the rugged terrain and access the rich lands of Kentucky and beyond. This route became a key pathway for westward expansion during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Persistence. Between 1790 and 1810, most explorers tried to follow the ravines, creeks and gullies, hoping they would lead to a route through the mountains. In the end, a route across the ridges of the Blue Mountains was found by William Lawson, William Wentworth and Gregory Blaxland.
In the late 1700s, the Cumberland Gap served as a crucial passage through the Appalachian Mountains for settlers moving westward. It offered a more accessible route for migration and helped facilitate the movement of people into the western frontier.
If you live in the East, you must go West. However, if you are in the West, you must go East. So to get somewhere, or anywhere, for that matter, it is necessary to know from whence your journey will begin. The route that I take may differ greatly with your preferred route.
The most important trade route through the Appalachian Mountains was the Wilderness Road. This route, blazed by Daniel Boone in the late 18th century, facilitated westward expansion by connecting Virginia to Kentucky. It became a critical passage for settlers and traders, enabling the movement of goods and people into the western frontier. The Wilderness Road played a significant role in shaping the early economic and demographic landscape of the United States.

settlers wanted to stay close to the Missouri River.
The main route that settlers took to Oregon was known as the Oregon Trail, which traversed various terrains including North Pass, located in the Rocky Mountains. This route was crucial for thousands of pioneers traveling in search of fertile land and new opportunities in the Oregon Territory during the mid-19th century. The journey was often challenging, characterized by difficult weather conditions and rugged landscapes, but it played a significant role in westward expansion in the United States.
