Oregon was appealing to many in the 19th century due to its promise of fertile land, abundant natural resources, and a mild climate, making it ideal for farming and settlement.

This reduced shipping costs and transit times, allowing farmers to sell their surplus crops more easily and at better prices. As a result, it encouraged agricultural expansion and settlement in the Midwest, ultimately contributing to the growth of the American economy and the westward expansion.
Some of the problems they faced housing shortages, terrible working conditions, too few schools, and racism and prejudice.
The Westward movement enhances the crop building. It incentivizes people to have a better way of thinking through the future. They thus had a better idea of the future thanks to the movement.
