Give examples of people and places impacted by the desire for mineral wealth, economic opportunities, and religious refuge on westward migration in the early 19th century.

Taking into account the statement above: "Give examples of people and places impacted by the desire for mineral wealth, economic opportunities, and religious refuge on westward migration in the early 19th century"

The answer is: The California Gold Rush and other rushes in Nevada, Colorado, and the Dakota. Thousands of men towards the West in search of mineral wealth resulted in a large rush of migration. The irish and German immigrants migrated West in search of cheap, fertile farmland that they could establish homesteads on and work to make a steady living. Also, the Irish also sought religious freedom, as they faced a lot of persecution due to their Roman Catholic faith. In addition, many pioneer families moved west to start homesteads and develop rural communities with schools in areas such as California and Oregon.

Hope this helps.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.
