Lesson 67: Westward Movement

     In the mid-19th century people began to move west where they would become farmers and plant many crops to make a lot of money.
 The first pioneers were poor and did not have great possessions, but as westward movement became more popular more fortunate people began to move as well.

 The west became a successful place for making a profit.
Land would be sold to people moving, new inventions needed for cultivating the land were created and sold, and the crops planted by farmers would be sold to the South.
