Some push factors were the chance to get rich, Dry farming, owning land, escaping the nightmares of the south ( slaves ). There were also longhorns to sell. Some pull factors were relatives and spouses not wanting them to go.
Americans were “pushed” west for many reasons. Many Americans felt like they were missing job opportunities in eastern states. Others felt that they were treated unfairly, and many believed that there wasn’t enough land to meet their needs. They were also “pulled” to the west by factors like new land, plentiful resources, and a desire for adventure.
