Explanation / Answer

The main objective behind the expansion of the terrorists was to find out the water route to the Pacific Ocean, try to acquire geographical facts and to have greater commercial relation with the western tribes. Most of the Westward pioneers migrated to the fertile land of the far Pacific west for example Valley of Oregon, therefore, bypassing the great plains which were seen as too dry to grow any kind of agriculture. This was further boosted by the discovery of Gold and Silver in California.
