Answer:

the rail road being built would create a faster and more comfortable means of travel for western migration. meaning more people would be willing to move there.

Step-by-step explanation:

moving west for americans means that we were using the westward land of our country so no one could take over, but also an opening to free enterprise, laize fair and the homestead of act. meaning more money and opportunitites.
