The Dream Of Moving West

The incident at the mountain man rendezvous and several other tales quickly gained Carson popularity. He was approached by John C. Fremont in 1942; the man who Fremont, Ohio is named after, to be a guide for the Army to survey a path to Oregon along the Oregon Trail. (Sides) Fremont was linked to politics through his wife and was given the assignment of exploring the West. (Sides) This expedition would be critical in providing a more accurate map for settlers moving west. They would successful complete the journey with twenty-five men in five months. (Sides) Fremont was able to document the

Getting on our plane was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to, especially since my dad couldn’t come with us that day. December 8, 2010 was the day my family decided that moving to America would give me and my brother many more opportunities, keep in mind my parents hadn’t told us that we were moving to the US. I remember I had been hugging my dad saying goodbye to him and my mom had to come and grab me away from him. His face was through the window was the last thing I remember seeing before buckling my seat belt and laying down on my mother’s shoulder. Once we had landed my mother woke me up and said to me that I should help out with the luggage and the other belongings we had to take. The night went by probably faster than

Did anyone think about how progress was positive and negative for traveling West?Traveling West was a positive target for a lot of people wanting money. Also, it was negative because people were scared of the journey. Examples of progress being positive and negative are Gold Rush,Oregon Trail, and Mexican American War.

The Trails out West, was trails guided to different areas like California and Oregon. It's a group of immigrants seeking to find freedom of religion. The immigrants set out to find a new home and become rich. There was gold in the west and land to be settled. This was an opportunity to those that had nothing but were ambitious and crafty. According to records about 250,000 gold-seekers and farmers were also in search of gold. The trails became famous because more than 500,000 people made the journey out West most were in covered wagons pulled by mule and oxen. They had no gps .. all they had was in their wagon guided by a sense of fate and freedom. MARGARET A. FINK, Oregon Trail Pioneer, 1850 sums up the feelings of a Oregon trail traveler stating: “I think none of us have realized until now the perils of this undertaking”. Despite the difficult task of traveling by covered wagons..shows the spirit and persistence of the American settlers. The Trails out West, was trails guided

My topic of choice is the background behind the 19TH Amendment of the United States. Voting is important in the United States because its shows that we’re a part of a movement that allows us to vote for whose best for running our country. Well what if you were denied this right not because of your race, but your gender? Women were denied the right to vote for years because men felt that they weren’t an important part of decision making in America. They believed we were already busy with raising children, taking care of the home, and “serving” our husbands, that we shouldn’t have to deal with the pressure of voting.

The movement of people that has resulted in the settlement of America is one of the most fascinating and significant topics in the history of the United States. Nowhere else has an area of equal size been settled as a result of the initiative of small groups and individuals. Westward expansion helped stimulate the American economy.

My topic is the Louisiana Purchase and why people wanted Louisiana, the hardships of getting the area for the USA, and what happened after the purchase. The Louisiana Purchase was a monumental change to the United States Of America, but there were struggles that you might not have known about.

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.

Another topic I like to read is about the golden rush and immigration. I think this two can be taken together. If California never found gold, the development won’s as fast as it reaches today. Therefore, it can be said the golden rush make more and more people immigrate to California and build the cities, railroad, factory. Moreover, Immigration policy had change today compare to that time, so I like to know the history of the early immigration life in California and what we should not make the mistake again. Illegal immigration is another theme I want to share, although many people immigrate to California, a large number of people is undocumented. Those people come to California looking for better life. Illegal immigration already become a large issue in the U.S.

Lastly, was the topic I found most compelling, community colleges. Did you know 55 out of 100 graduating students at a university actually went to a community college? That's an amazing statistic because it gives a second chance for those of us who didn't meet university requirements. Not to mention, some of the faculty told us they graduated from Goldenwest as well. This information made me feel more secure that I was on the right track to my academic success.

My topic is Alexander Hamilton and the Compromise of 1790, and I worked as an individual on my project. I selected my topic by looking into several topics that interested me, such as the Oregon Trail, WWII, and early American government. I chose the Compromise of 1790 because it fit this years theme best out of all the potential interesting topics. The main reason that I find this topic interesting is because I love the musical Hamilton, which showed me how interesting the founding of America was and the lives of those who started the US. I narrowed my topic by choosing to focus on Alexander Hamilton

Another topic that was extremely important to me was the achievement gap between blacks and whites. Being an educated African American woman it’s astonishing to see how far America has come. From not even allowing African Americans to become educated to now having specific scholarships to help African Americans become educated. It’s amazing to see how each case such as learning about the different cases such as: Plessey vs. Ferguson, brown vs. board of education, and many other cases that have set precedents in order for me to be attending and succeeding at division one University.

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.
