1- Thanks to the Homestead Act of 1862, if settlers lived and farmed the land, they earned ownership without payment.

To attract immigrants, the US government passed in 1862 the Homestead Act, which defined the ownership of a property of 65 hectares to those who cultivated it for five years. Anyone who had never taken up arms against the US government, including freed slaves, could file a claim for a federal land grant. This law greatly increased the flow of European immigrants to the United States.

2- As an effect of the California Gold Rush in 1849, an influx of settlers from the U.S. and the world led to the growth of numerous cities in the West.

The gold rush of California was a social phenomenon that occurred in the United States between 1848 and 1855, characterized by the large number of immigrants who came to San Francisco (California) in search of this metal. This phenomenon began near the town of Coloma, when gold was discovered in Sutter's Mill. When the news of the discovery spread, around three hundred thousand people emigrated to California from the rest of the United States and other countries.
