Answer:

The West offered new opportunities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not only that the West was non-populated by the middle of 19th Century, but its natural resources were totally unused. That is why government supported settlers, and even promised them wealth and prosperity. Many people who moved westward really gained fortune, especially during famous gold rushes.
