The best answer to why many people in the United States migrated westwards in the early 1800s is B of the availability of farmland. During this time, many individuals and families moved westward seeking new opportunities for agriculture, prompted by the idea of Manifest Destiny and the promise of fertile land. The Transcontinental Railroad was not completed until 1869, making option C inaccurate for the early 1800s. Options A and D do not capture the predominant motivations for westward migration during this period.
