Settlers were motivated to move into the Ohio Valley for which of the following reasons?
  1. The land was particularly good for farming cotton
  2. Non-English settlers were forced to move there
  3. Its proximity to the Mississippi made it desirable
  4. It was where land was available to settle
  5. The Native Americans there were less hostile
Explanation
Answer: D - Settlers move to the Ohio Valley because it was where land was available once the eastern seaboard had been settled. This migration would eventually bring the settlers in conflict with the French, whose settlements were expanding south from Canada. This migration would also increase conflicts with the Native Americans.
