The causes of Westward Movement
1.
Large
Population.
As
early
as
in
1820
’
s
there
was
flood
of
new
immigrants
from
Europe to the United States. Then the stream of immigration continued. Between 1815
and 1830 over 500 000 Europeans came into the United States. They had expected to
live a better life, but they found themselves still poor in the crowded Northeast. As they
were
dissatisfied
with
the
conditions
at
home,
they
hoped
to
find
a
more
favorable
environment on the frontier.
2.
California Gold Rush. Gold was discovered in California in the 1840s. This rush made
lots of people move West with the hopes of becoming rich!
3.
Cheap, Fertile Land. As for the local farmers, they had no better life and they lost their
land piece after piece because of land speculation. So they moved west to the vast area
of wilderness where the land was cheap and great for farming.
4.
Freedom for Runaway from Slaves. Slaves from the South could have freedom in the
new
western
territories
where
they
settled
in
all
black
communities
free
from
white
prejudice.
