Why were many people willing to endure the hardships of settling in the far West?

A the adventure of finding a new place

B the beauty of the terrain

C the economic opportunities to be found

D the fact that others had already done it

The best answer for this question would be answer choice C, The economic opportunities to be found, due to the vast territory in the west with abundant resources people would takes years to travel to the west just for new promise in their lives and hope for luxurious resources to be uncovered. One example of this would be the rush for gold in the west in California which was in 1848. People especially before railroads would take years to travel out west just for a better chance in life.
