Why they migrated
Jackson Turner was a man that wrote about the migrating to the west. When Turner said what was going on in the west a lot of the people listened and paid attention to him and migrated to the west to be involved in the events that are going on. Most of the people went to mine for gold. That was the largest event that was going on and was the most popular because it was going to be a once in a life time opportunity and everyone thought they would find gold.
