Michigan's population growth in the 1800s was primarily driven by the promise of economic opportunities, particularly in agriculture, logging, and later manufacturing. The availability of land, facilitated by policies such as the Homestead Act, attracted many settlers. Additionally, the construction of railroads and canals improved transportation, making it easier for people to migrate to and within the state. The discovery of Natural Resources, including copper and iron, further stimulated growth and Immigration.
