The great plains were considered to be a "desert" (to some extent this was confirmed when people later settled there in the 1920s and through improper erosion control farming practices followed by a several year drought, brought about the dust bowl during the 1930s).
This land is actually very fertile, but only with modern irrigation and erosion control practices that were not available to the pioneers in the 1800s.
The colony of South Australia was not established as a convict settlement because, by the 1830s, on further penal colonies were required in Australia. The main reason for settlement in South Australia is that the British Government wished to establish a colony on the southern coast, securing its claim against the possibility of French incursions.

Americans primarily lived in the Thirteen Colonies along the eastern seaboard of what is now the United States. Following independence, many settlers expanded westward into territories such as the Midwest, the Great Plains, and eventually the West Coast. This westward expansion was driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny, which encouraged settlement across the continent. Additionally, Americans established communities in various regions, adapting to local environments and resources.

Settlement in the Great Plains was slow primarily due to its harsh climate, characterized by extreme temperatures, droughts, and limited water resources, making farming challenging. Additionally, the perception of the region as a barren wasteland, coupled with the lure of the fertile lands and gold rush opportunities in California and the West Coast, led many settlers to prioritize those areas. The lack of infrastructure and established communities in the Great Plains further discouraged early settlement, as pioneers sought more hospitable environments.
Plymouth was the first settlement in Massachusetts.
