Settles moved because of eastern politics, land, and they also had found gold.

I would have left because there was gold out in the west

One of the three reasons was most definitely gold they had a big chance of finding it and who wouldn't want gold! The second of the three was for land, there was much more land and better soil, also they could just have it for free or buy it for cheap. The final reason was to get away from what they didn't like, the politics, the critics. They just wanted to get away.

Yes, I would travel west. Not just for the gold but also so that me and my family would have more food to eat. We would have a bigger variety and there would be more to trade so we would also be wealthier and not have to listen to what politics have to say.

Gold was for sure one reason why people wanted to move west. There was also more more land to obtain if you moved west.

1. One reason was to find gold in California. Another was so that they could claim their own land in the new frontier. A third reason may have been so they could get away from the politics of the eastern coast, since moving would place them farther from the capital.

2. I might have. It really would just depend on what was happening at that specific time and what my quality of life looked like in the east.
