What encouraged (or pushed) so many Americans to go West (or did they get pulled West)?

A belief in the philosophy of Manifest Destiny, which stated that …..

Page 18: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

…. God, …, clearly wanted hard–working American(s) to occupy North America. It was inevitable and good that the United States occupy the continent “from sea to shining sea.”

Page 19: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

“It is,” he wrote, “our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.”

John L. O’Sullivan (editor) gave these ideas a name: Manifest Destiny

What incentives does the government provide to help fulfill this “manifest destiny” and pull people west?

Page 22: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

Incentives to go west #1:Homestead Act (1862)

for approximately $10, settlers could have 160 acres of western land, if

they met certain criteria:

Page 23: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

• American citizens who were 21 years or older, or the head of a household

• Built a home on their lot, and lived in it at least 6 mos. of the year

• Farmed the land for 5 years or more

Page 24: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

• Daniel Freeman was the first American to file a homestead claim for land under the Homestead Act of 1862.

Page 25: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

• Almanzo Wilder received a patent granting him title to 160 acres in Dakota Territory that for five years he had homesteaded with his wife Laura Ingalls Wilder.

• Homesteaders would often display the patent as proof of their hard work.

Sod •Tough layer of prairie sod. The turf is held together for a depth of about a foot. The durability of the sod layer prevents erosion from taking place at the same rate as on the deposits below it.

•Imagine the isolation felt by the homesteaders!

Incentives to go West #2:The Pacific Railways Act (1862/1864)

–Granted railroads 10 square miles on either side of each track they laid to the west

Page 32: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

What did the railroads do with all that land?

They Sold It!!

Page 33: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

Incentive to go West #3:

Morrill-Land Grants (1862 initial)

–Gave land to state educational facilities with curriculum tied to agriculture and mechanical arts (Texas A&M, Oklahoma A&M, etc.)

Page 34: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

…states were given land in the west in exchange for opening up colleges – even Delaware! (1890 version of the grant)

Page 35: Heading West – Push/Pull!. In 1780, 2.7 million people lived in 13 states Fifty years later... In 1830, 12 million people lived in 24 states Why do people.

A question to ponder . . .

The Homestead Act, Pacific Railways Act, and Morrill Land Grants are government incentives and their method to conquer the land.

What technology or tools might the people need?
