Answer:

westward expansion

Step-by-step explanation:

the government encouraged americans to move west from the east coast for farming reasons. Males over 21 who were the head of household received a few acres of land to grow crops and make profit, they could then later buy that land for themselves personally. so maybe the thought of living and running on your own piece of land while selling to others making money was appealing to others
