People also wanted to explore and see what other types of animals live in the unexplored areas.

People wanted to get more resources like gold, fur, reeds, and new plants. Tons of people moved to california to mine gold during the gold rush. People hunted animals to sell and use there fur.

Profit was another reason people moved west. If people moved west and claimed land before the land was made part of the US they wouldn't have to pay taxes to the government. Another reason was so people could hunt animals and take the fur and sell it raw. They could also make clothes to either use for themselves or sell the cloths.]]> 2021-03-04 15:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/franklinbieri/f7038b6v216srr1y/wish/1269635860 franklinbieri https://padlet.com/franklinbieri/f7038b6v216srr1y/wish/1269663190 Americans wanted to move west because "it was their destiny" but in the end the real reason the probably did it was for profit.]]> 2021-03-04 15:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/franklinbieri/f7038b6v216srr1y/wish/1269663190
