    Americans started moving west in the early to mid-1800s because of the availability of new land for farming. People wanted a fresh start where they can be able to purchase their own land and try other economic possibilities like farming and gold mining. This trend started during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson.

    A. Availability of new land for farming

    A main reason people were able to move west during this time period was due to the advances in transportation. There were now canals, railroads, steamboats, and overland trails that made this great migration possible. However, transportation was not the only thing that made moving west possible. There was also the idea of Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny was the idea that moving west was someone’s patriotic responsibility. People understood that moving west would make the United States bigger and stronger
