With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting highepriced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various Iodtes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and HMMII t5mh slam ALASKA Msth mm Admitted to the Union In 1959 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 nae 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 moveci together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.
