Causes and Effects What were the main reasons that settlers moved to the West?

History

Fynjy0 [20]1 year ago
7 0

Various reasons inspired people to expand westward in the 19th century, though two reasons were generally cited more than others. Economic opportunity, or the chance to strike it rich, was the first. The second was a chance at social mobility and progress, which was also tied to monetary desires.

Causes of  westward expansion of settlers:

The sparsely populated western regions of the continent became folded into a nation with enormous potential for power. The hundreds of thousands of settlers who moved west established new communities. New territories gave the country access to greater natural resources and the Pacific trade.

Effect of of  westward expansion of settlers:

It sparked disputes over when slavery in the West would be abolished, resulting in greater friction between the south and the west, as well as the collapse of the American economy.

2. It resulted in the westward expansion of the American military.

3. It resulted in the outbreak of the Mexican-American war.

<h3>What are challenges do settlers faced?</h3>

The colony was on the verge of extinction due to illness, disease, hunger, and retaliatory attacks by the Indians. The Homestead Act presented settlers and homesteaders with a challenging and frequently insurmountable struggle as they migrated westward to improve the property granted to them. Rugged weather, insects, a lack of building supplies, and inexperience caused recurrent failures on the difficult-to-farm soil.
