The lack of opportunity in the developing world for men and women with little or no education was a motivating factor. By moving west in the United Sates, they were entering a world that would be of their own making where they could exist off the land and their own labour. Over population in Western Europe and Eastern US drove people west, where there was more land and freedom.
