Explanation:
The migration westward to settle in the frontier lands west of the Mississippi River was the most prevalent migration trend in the United States between the end of the civil war and world war 1 because of the following reasons:
a. There was an opportunity to own lands cheaply and to become prosperous westward on the frontier lands west of the Mississippi river.
