Question 2
In the context of westward expansion in US history, many went west to "seek their fortunes" (e.g., gold rush, economic opportunities). "Religious freedom" was more for groups like Pilgrims (earlier, east - northeast), and "lost relatives" is not a primary historical driver of westward migration.
During westward expansion, fertile land for farming (e.g., Homestead Act) was a major pull factor. Spreading democracy was not a primary individual immigrant - level reason for moving west.
