 * People moved west for a great variety of reasons. Some were drawn there by so-called “pull factors”—aspects of the West that attracted people. Other people were motivated by “push factors”—conditions that made them want to leave their homes and start a new life elsewhere. Many people picked up and headed west to escape desperate poverty in eastern cities. **

1b.). How could life change for the individuals in this picture if they moved west? Describe what their life could be.
**Document 2** ** Many people who migrated west wrote letters back home to tell family members about their experiences. Uriah Oblinger was an impoverished young man from Indiana who fell in love with Mattie Thomas. To earn enough money to support a family, he kept moving farther west, looking for job opportunities and land. After they finally married in 1869, Uriah and Mattie settled a homestead in Nebraska, taking advantage of the opportunities created by the Homestead Act of 1862. During their years on the farm, Mattie wrote many letters to her family back in Indiana telling them about the opportunities in Nebraska. **

 * “I think George & Grizzie would do well to come west if their money will not go far enough there for them … [W]e will be as well off as they are in a few years. We can say now that we own 160 [acres] and all it wants is improvements and I am sure it is a healthy place. Poor little Earny! It is too bad he must have the chills so much. If I was them I would be willing to sacrifice some of my enjoyments to endure a few privations for the sake of having health in my family. I am very sure they would be healthier here, but I shall not urge them to come for fear they would not be satisfied & then we would be to blame. Do you ever hear how Al Shoap likes the west? Is he in the grasshopper region? Tell Doc we will write to him soon to be patient & wait.”

#2Do you agree with Mattie Oblinger's arguments to move way? Why or why not?
