What factors were most important in drawing Americans to the West, both mentally and physically?
Answer (3)
Americans thought that if they went out west their lives would be so much better because the government was basically paying them to go. Also? It was a good way for cattle rancher to raise their cattle for cheeper and then they would sent them back out to the east to sell
Not to mention the desire for money. The west was almost an unexplored place, and anything they found they could sell. they also wanted independence and freedom
Americans were drawn to the West due to economic opportunities, government incentives, the influence of Manifest Destiny, improvements in transportation, and cultural motivations. The promise of land and wealth, alongside a belief in a divine right to expand, fueled the migration. This movement significantly shaped the nation's development during the 19th century.
