Why do you think the Americans in the new nation might have wanted to move to and settle on western lands?

History

Answer:he mining industry was one of the industries that had great impact for the westward expansion in northamerica. Many people seeking wealth settled in western territories creating small mining towns. These towns were created when the existence of a gold deposit had already been proven but many times they were created only with the rumor that there could be gold there. They were prosperous towns at an economic level until the ore was depleted. Then they left the town. The timber industry began when settlers cut wood to build their settlements on American land. The westward expansion generated high demand for wood supply, which promoted the timber industry by strengthening the US economy. This industry grew by leaps and bounds and already in 1970, 41% of the timber in the United States came from the Pacific Northwest. During the era of the construction of the transcontinental railroad there was a dramatic expansion in agriculture. The number of farms tripled and the number of people living on farms increased to 31 million in 1905. Industrial agriculture favored the westward expansion since with the introduction of agricultural machinery farmers managed to increase crop yields with less labor. Farmers organized into local and regional cooperatives to promote their interests.

Hope this helps :)

The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was passed to severely restrict immigration from Eastern and southern Europe. Why were these two
Digiron [165]

These two regions were singled out because many Americans held the perception that individuals from southern and eastern Europe could not be assimilated properly into the culture of the United States. Their languages, customs, and religions were thought to be too different from those of preceding generations of immigrants for full scale integration into American culture. The fear was that these newer immigrants would always be "hyphenates,” or citizens who would call themselves, or be called by others, by such hyphenated names as "Polish-Americans,” "Greek-Americans,” and "Italian-Americans.”

Beyond the fear of being swamped by unassimilable immigrants from eastern and southern Europe was the fear that these immigrants’ increasing numbers would depress wages for American workers. In addition, some people feared the potential of the rising political power of the new class of immigrants.
