Answer 1
They moved to the west because immigrants came to the U.S . As the population of the U.S grew they moved west to find more room to grew more.
Answer 2
People were greedy for GOLD
Answer 3
Some parts of the East were getting crowded. Land in the West was cheap (especially since we had stolen it from the Indians). Then gold was discovered in 1848, and that was a big motivator.
Answer 4
Many people moved there because of:
cattle driving- the moving of cattle over a long distance
mining for gold and silver- many people went there hoping that they could find gold and silver.
Railroads boom- railroads being built.
Dawes- The closing of the west.
home stead act- giving land to people who could stay 5 years.
Answer 5
Railroads giving free lands to people with out any conditions.
Answer 6
For free land, all you had to do is put up a fence on Indian Land (against Indian Law, death penalty offense) and then kill the Indians in charge of enforcing the law and the land was yours. How the West was Won.
Answer 7
Although that is true, many people moved out west in the 1800s for not only land, but for cash crops, and gold. Also, the building of the trans-continental railroad connected the East and the West, allowing more people to move west freely and easily.
