Scandinavian immigrants moved to the western frontier to own land.

Brief corrections: Irish immigrants generally settled in eastern cities (many worked in factories or on canals/railroads), Germans were not barred from cities and many lived in urban communities or also moved west to farm, and British immigrants were not primarily moving west in the early 1800s for religious freedom.
