 * Why did people move down West?**

The wilderness opened a gate to escape the poor, the discontented and the oppressed. The invention of the cotton gin at a very fitting time made people of the south push west. Economics, land, and opportunity to profit were primary factors, and the open land gave people a chance to start over. Farmers of the north decide to move west because farming was not profitable anymore. In the middle region, it was a lack of transportation and market that brought along the Erie Canal. When open lands sold for two dollars an acre, and indeed, could be occupied by squatters almost without molestation, it was certain that settlers would seek them instead of paying twenty to fifty dollars and acre for farms that lay not much farther to the east-especially when the western lands were more fertile. It was because of the sudden shift of labor from farms to towns that started the westward movement up north. Farming out west could be even more profitable. The owners of small farms sold their farms and moved west. The Industrial Revolution, which made textile manufacturing a large-scale operation, increased the demand for raw cotton. With textile being a booming industry, people went west seeking available land to plant cotton. The westward movement is an important factor to farming back then and even today.
