With the great expanse f cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became eality. he Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable rontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready or it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where and was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ent of good transportation, to really start the frontier ovement. he Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various outes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The ailroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the iners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.
