A. for improved economic opportunities

B. to improve their way of life

E. for security in owning land

Explanation:

The desire to move west was more than the idea of Manifest Destiny. Some people just wanted to improve their way of life. These people were seeking security and a chance to own and cultivate their own land. However, much of their desire was based on economics. Southern planters who wanted to grow more cotton looked to the West for more land. These planters wanted land that was open to slavery, since slave labor seemed essential to their prosperity. With laws like the Northwest Ordinance and the Missouri Compromise, the Southern planter had no choice but to look to the West for expansion.
