Many believed that westward expansion, which was referred to as Manifest Destiny was for the good and right of the people. Many people moved because:

  • the west opened up new jobbing opportunities
  • the population in the east was becoming overcrowded
  • the rumor of the California Gold rush led people to think they would find gold
  • the west had lots of unused, fertile land.
