West

Explanation:

Although the North and parts of the South were abundant in terms of population, citizens and immigrants increasingly traveled westward.

As part of the concept of the Manifest Destiny, the idea the America would eventually reach from ocean to ocean, new states were being admitted and new territories being handed over to the Union.

Different things caused people to move west. These included the California Gold Rush, new land, job opportunities in new states/territories, and more.
