16.) Describe why people moved westward
At the time everyone lived in the east part of the United State, they wanted adventure, space of their own, overcrowed, moving west they would purchase more land which gave more farming- people who opened business would have less competitiion, the Gold, silver, cattle ranching, sheep herding, other riches came over, lot of people from Europe came over and went straight west. Mormons travled west for the religous executions

3 Comprimises
