Settlers are individuals or groups who move to a new area to establish a community. They often seek land for farming, resources, or new opportunities. Throughout history, settlers have played a significant role in the expansion of territories, such as in the case of the American West during the 19th century. Settlers can come from various backgrounds and cultures, bringing their traditions and practices to the new land. This process can lead to the development of new societies, but it may also result in conflicts with the existing populations, as seen in the interactions between settlers and indigenous peoples.
