Early Logging In The 1800s

Faragher, Buhle, Cziyron and Armitage ( 2010) note the westward development into the new territories of the United States usually took place in three stages; trade, settlement and statehood. The speed at which this expansion occurred reinforced America's sense of themselves as a pioneering people. This experience worked to create a belief that the United States was a nation of adventurous, optimistic, and democratic people (p. 357).

Have you ever been forced to leave and explore the world? Well that's relatable, it's the only option left for the immigrants trying to blaze a trail to travel on safety. But people don't wanna risk getting hurt or trespassing into someone's land.

In the 1900’s we used to have apaches in the United States. Apaches believed that supernatural beings lived with them. The apaches could not see them, but they were there. How the apaches built there teepees was they would use long poles, and buffalo skin. The women from every family would build the teepees, and it took up to 30 minutes to build. How they would build the teepees is the women would put the long poles up, then they would tie the poles together, and then the women would tightly wrap the buffalo skin around the teepees. The teepees could hold up to more than three families, but it might be a little tight in the teepees. Also the apaches would live in longhouses to, but it took longer to build the longhouse, and the long house could fit more than 7 families in it but it might still be crowded.

“By then I could feel the ground rumbling through my shoes. I saw the first water sluicing through the lowest part of the pasture, and I knew we didn't have time to make it to higher ground ourselves. In the middle of the field was an old cottonwood tree, broad-branched and gnarled, and we ran for that.” pg.12

The State of Colorado achieved its statehood in 1876. In its beginning, it was predominantly a mining and agriculture state. People came from all over the world to settle in the state, the most popular settlements were in Denver all the way south to Colorado Springs. General William Jackson Palmer, a member of the City’s museum commission, founded the city of Colorado Springs in 1871. During the westward expansion, pioneers in their covered wagons moved to the region in search for gold, good health, and prosperity in the mineral rich Rocky Mountains. They settled and built farms, ranches, and small businesses. One of those Pioneers was Thomas Maclaren, a prolific designer, whose work will become extremely popular in the Colorado Springs, Downtown

The 1800s the United states was eager for new land. With population booming westward expansion seemed to be the only option. The term manifest destiny start from john l O'sullivan in the mid 1800s. O'sullivan said that the United states was destined to expand from coast to coast. At the time the land belongs to others and the U.S tried to be civilized with treaties and other but when this didn't worked turned to violence and war to get what they wanted. However the U.S started making its way westward long before manifest destiny was a thing.

The long perilous journey of the Oregon Trail stretched across the West and dared anyone brave enough to reach the prize of land at its end. The brutal weather conditions and the rugged terrain proved to be a daunting task for many. Native Americans defended their territories and would attack those who entered. So how did the West Coast ever become a thriving part of the United States? Through the dedication and perseverance of thousands of pioneers, the western territories of the United States would grow and prosper. In honor of the acts of these Americans, a national monument for the pioneers should be created in order to represent their struggle and the impact they made in expanding the United States.

Amidst these troubles, two more voluntary emigrating parties left Alabama in 1834 and 1835. A majority of the Creeks denounced emigration, however, and refused to go west. But continued encroachment on Creek land and the land frauds associated with selling Creek reserves caused sporadic violence between Creeks and white settlers into the 1830s.

Westward Expansion was a touchy topic at the start of the 1800s. The north and south lived quite different lifestyles at this time. The north pushed for a more industrial approach to life, while the south found farming to be their choice. The real tension was rooted in the question of whether or not slavery was to exist in these new areas of The United States. With new land to settle and different ideas coming from all directions, relations between the north and south were soon to shift.

“Timber!” yelled a worker as he cut down yet another tree. Everyday hundreds of workers went into the woods and cut down hundreds of trees before shipping them off to sorting yards and mills. Some of the first explorers and fur traders to come to the Pacific Northwest had noticed the extremely large amounts of timber found in the region, and the lumber industry launched when the California Gold Rush created a demand for Northwest wood products. Soon after that, eight out of every ten dollars invested in manufacturing Washington’s territory went to the timber industry between 1860 and 1880. As a result of railroads, increases in mining, and a need for jobs, the lumber industry became very important to the Pacific Northwest.

Colonization in the west during the 1850’s was a very big deal to the United States. Many people believed in manifest destiny, the belief that the US had a God-given destiny to expand from coast to coast. The expansion west had many impacts on the US, the main three being social, political, and economic. Out of the main three, the aspect of the westward movement that had the biggest impact on the US was the social one.

During the Westward Expansion, pioneers faces starvation, Indians, and shelter. Along the way, pioneers traveling to Oregon went low on food multiple times. Families traveling to Oregon usually traveled for days at a time. As they stopped at night, families had to sleep on the hard ground. Pioneers also had to deal with indians scalping pioneers and taking their things. To deal with starvation, the pioneer families usually went without eating. In the passage Martha Williams said “Sometimes we had to live on boiled wheat.” Most indians were friendly to the pioneers traveling to Oregon, but there were some not so friendly indians. In the passage, Martha Williams said “ some indians found a person out of their company and took his jacket and

How do you see progress, as a process that is beneficial or in contrast, that it´s a hurtful process that everyone at one point of their lives has to pass through it? At the time, progress was beneficial for the United States, but those benefits came with a cost, such cost that instead of advancements and developments being advantageous factors for humanity, it also became a harmful process in which numerous people were affected in many facets of life. This all means that progress is awsome to achieve, but when achieved, people have to realize the process they had to do to achieve it, which was stepping on other people to get there.

British-Columbia (B.C.) has four main industries that thrive in its economy: mining, agriculture, fishing and forestry. Forestry is still considered B.C.’s number one industry. In the past, this industry required a lot of strength and man-laboured activity. They used saws and axes to cut down the trees. It was only later that the donkey engine and the first electrical saw, the Swede Saw were invented. Horses, oxen and trains transported trees. Forestry was very important to the First Nation cultures. Their houses, boats and clothing were made from cedar found on the Island. Because felling and hauling one tree was extremely laborious, loggers wanted the biggest trees. This technique was extremely wasteful, because they left behind the smaller

Humans have always cleared the forest for our own interests, but in the past, the process was slow and only limited regions were deforested, generally for subsistence agriculture. However, today, humanity is far more efficient at clearing the forest with our advanced technology and machinery and our almost maniacal drive to earn profits in the near term. Ranching Cattle ranches are created in the rainforest for many fast food companies.
