WESTWARD EXPANSION

MINING

• A lot of people wanted to move west for mining
• They thought there was a lot of silver and gold
• So they moved west.
• Once they got there they found out there wasn't a lot of gold or silver
• Only a few people go rich off of the mining in the west.

FARMING

• A lot of farmers picked up and moved west
• They did this because out west is a lot of land
• The land out west has very fertile soil
• Fertile soil means better crops

RANCHING

• Some ranchers decided to move out west
• Once they took a trail to move out west
• And on the trail some of the peoples cattle
• Got stolen
