Liam Jensen 1. Thomas Jefferson, our third President, made a deal with Napoleon Bonaparte of France to buy a gigantic portion of land for a low price of $15 million! Colonists could now settle there. 2. Of course, someone had to find out what that land looked like, so the President sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the territory. They came back with news of the vast, new territory, and Americans everywhere were itching to settle in the new land. 3. In 1849, California was swarmed when gold was discovered. Thousands of prospectors were struck with gold fever, and soon the west was filled with people!
Melanie - Lewis and Clark were the first people to discover the west portion of the U.S. Thomas Jefferson sent them explore not to long after the Louisiana purchase. - The California Gold Rush in 1848 started when James Marshall found gold. Everyone who heard about this rushed over to find some gold for themselves but this event soon ended in 1855 when no more gold was found. - Daniel Boone moved people towards the west when he settled Missouri. Daniel had also encouraged people to be adventurous.
Josh, 1. Lewis and Clark, they were basically hired to go explore the west. But they didn't know the land very well, they didn't know the land marks. On the way to the west they met an native American named, Sacajawea. She led them to the coast line into the Oregon territory which eventually became the Oregon trail.
2. The CA gold rush is another reason because, when a farmer found out about the gold he told his friend not to tell anyone else. Word spread quickly, and soon enough CA had enough people to become a state. Some people had contracted "Gold fever". This is where people are greedy enough to kill and steal another persons gold.
3.Our third President Thomas Jefferson bought a big piece of land from Napoleon Bonaparte. The price was 15M which is a low price for that much land. The reason why Jefferson bought this piece of land was so that the USA could grow, and bring more people over to the US.

Because there were hardly any settlers, Mexico offered land for a cheap price to the Americans who gladly took the offer. Because there were more Americans in Texas then there were Mexicans, Mexico tried to take away some of the freedoms that the Americans owned in the land because they were worried that the Americans might take over the land.... They did. 3. James Monroe, the fifth President of the US, convinced Spain to give Florida to the US. He agreed to pay $5 million in return which Spain owed the US citizens for damage to their property. The exact same treaty caused a boundary of the Louisiana territory between Spain and Mexico.

Also the trains could carry cargo unlike men on horse. The railroad also allowed people from the east to visit people in the west without a dangerous journey. 2. Another thing that helped in the expansion west was the Louisiana purchase.

1. The British were kidnapping American sailors from their ships and forcing them to fight in there navy. So America declared war on England in 1812. In 1814 the British marched to Washington and burned down the white house.
Jordan M. The CA. gold rush: In 1848, James Marshall, a ranch hand on John Sutter's farm discovered gold in California. John Sutter told the ranch hands to not tell anyone about it, because then they would come in and ruin his land. But eventually, the news leaked out, and the people all over America came rushing over to come and find gold. Gold had been discovered in 1848, but the gold-seekers came in 1849. That's why they are called the "forty-ninners". California grew quickly as more gold seekers came to find gold. Most of them did not get enough gold to live in California. So some towns in CA. became ghost towns.
The War of 1812: Napoleon Bonaparte, the cruel French soldier that ruled France to rule all of Europe. He agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory because he needed money to continue his wars in Europe. Although America had nothing to do with the wars in Europe, the British in Europe needed more people in the navy, so they began to stop American ships and abduct American sailors to fight in the Navy for the British. Also in doing this, the British had violated trade rights with the Americans and stirred up Indians on the frontier. Then the United States declared war on England in 1812. This war, the war of 1812, lasted for over two years.
The United States Wins the Southwest from Mexico: In 1821, the country of Mexico fought for and won their independence. They gained Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. In the early 1800's, after Mexico had won her independence, they wanted more settlers to come and move there. So they started to price land for cheap prices, thinking it would attract a lot of American settlers. It happened to attract a lot more settlers that they were hoping for, so many that they were afraid that they would want, and could, overthrow them. So Mexico decided not to let any more Americans in to Mexico. Then they tried to take away the right of the Americans living in Mexico. A dictator named General Santa Anna traveled up north to Texas to try to control it in 1833. After several battles with the Mexicans, the Americans in Texas voted for freedom in 1836. The most memorable battle was in Antonio, Texas were 187 men gathered inside a old Spanish mission called the Alamo and prepared to fight the Mexican army. The Men fought very valiantly for 11 days until there ammo ran out. Then the Mexican army poured in, killing all 187 men who fought tell the end. Even today, we remember the Alamo's who so bravely gave up their lives. March 27, 2014 at 12:43 PM
Josh Rockwood 1. Lewis and Clark were hired to go explore the west, since the U .S. had just bought the Louisiana territory. On the way they met a Indian Sacajawea that helped them make it without getting attacked by other Indians. 2. The California Gold rush, when news spread about a farmer finding out about gold in his backyard. settlers came to CA as fast as they could so that they could still get in on the gold. 3. When Lewis and Clark came back from their expedition, they showed the president some items they found like plants and animal skins. By this the Americans were fascinated on how many new things there were and so the Americans started to settle over there.
Because they set up deals with the native americans so that they wouldn't be attacked.Because they had supplies to protect, feed and move them such as, rifles, horses, goats, donkeys and chickens. because they had numbers of people with them so they could overpower anyone and set up camp or make a town anywhere.
Because Lewis and Clarke were hired to explore and discover the west, the reason for this was because the U.S. had just purchase the Louisiana territory. Another reason was because of the California gold rush, when the news came to the U.S. that farmers in the west were finding gold, they wanted to get to the west as fast as they could to get gold. On the way there they met Sacajawea who helped them along the way so they weren't attacked by other Indians. When Lewis and Clark finished their expedition or adventure they showed the president some items the discovered like animal skins and plants. By this discovery Americans were fascinated at all the new things they had found. So this resulted in many Americans settling in the discovered area.

It was so big, that Great Britain divided some to British, and some to America to own. In 1846, the boarder came to life in between Canada and the United States. Finally, in 1859, Oregon became a state.
3) The California Gold Rush, When Rancher finds gold on his land, lots and lots of people barge into California to search for gold. So much people came to live in California, that California became a state. And because of the gold, forty-niners, (who were the gold miners) began moving westward, which then later became known as the California Gold Rush.

ReplyDelete1. Daniel Boone helped the United States grow by helping clear a path way, so that thousands of people and families could travel to Missouri in 1775. During the time of the American War of Independence pioneers built a settlement named Boonesborough in Kentucky in honor of Daniel Boon.
2. On 1848 some ranchers find gold word some how word got around and soon the hole United States new about the gold. People come from all places to get gold, the population grew. this helped the US grow because of all the population had grown so much that in 1850 CA became the 31st state.
3. Another thing that helped us grow was the Louisiana purchase. So the president than asked Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the land. When the explorers came back the showed the President all the things and goods they had found. When others here'd about the new good land they started making there way west to make new homes. This helped The US grow, because we started establishing more and more land and more colonies.

ReplyDelete1. Lewis and Clark traveled to Oregon and back from st. Louis. they were going there because no one really knew what was over there. their mission was to discover the new things in the land.
2. They met a french trapper whose wife,Sacagawea, was a Shoshone Indian. she helped Lewis and Clark and guided them. she also made it easier to create more peaceful encounters with other Indians.
3. They brought back many items to show the president. they had treasures from the expedition like animal skins, insects, plants and a live prairie dog. when the America heard about the north west many pioneers began moving there.
1. The British were kidnapping American sailors from their ships and forcing them to fight in there navy. So America declared war on England in 1812. In 1814 the British marched to Washington and burned down the white house.

ReplyDeleteThe CA. gold rush: In 1848, James Marshall, a ranch hand on John Sutter's farm discovered gold in California. John Sutter told the ranch hands to not tell anyone about it, because then they would come in and ruin his land. But eventually, the news leaked out, and the people all over America came rushing over to come and find gold. Gold had been discovered in 1848, but the gold-seekers came in 1849. That's why they are called the "forty-ninners". California grew quickly as more gold seekers came to find gold. Most of them did not get enough gold to live in California. So some towns in CA. became ghost towns.
The War of 1812: Napoleon Bonaparte, the cruel French soldier that ruled France to rule all of Europe. He agreed to sell the Louisiana Territory because he needed money to continue his wars in Europe. Although America had nothing to do with the wars in Europe, the British in Europe needed more people in the navy, so they began to stop American ships and abduct American sailors to fight in the Navy for the British. Also in doing this, the British had violated trade rights with the Americans and stirred up Indians on the frontier. Then the United States declared war on England in 1812. This war, the war of 1812, lasted for over two years.
The United States Wins the Southwest from Mexico: In 1821, the country of Mexico fought for and won their independence. They gained Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. In the early 1800's, after Mexico had won her independence, they wanted more settlers to come and move there. So they started to price land for cheap prices, thinking it would attract a lot of American settlers. It happened to attract a lot more settlers that they were hoping for, so many that they were afraid that they would want, and could, overthrow them. So Mexico decided not to let any more Americans in to Mexico. Then they tried to take away the right of the Americans living in Mexico. A dictator named General Santa Anna traveled up north to Texas to try to control it in 1833. After several battles with the Mexicans, the Americans in Texas voted for freedom in 1836. The most memorable battle was in Antonio, Texas were 187 men gathered inside a old Spanish mission called the Alamo and prepared to fight the Mexican army. The Men fought very valiantly for 11 days until there ammo ran out. Then the Mexican army poured in, killing all 187 men who fought tell the end. Even today, we remember the Alamo's who so bravely gave up their lives.

ReplyDelete1. Lewis and Clark were hired to go explore the west, since the U .S. had just bought the Louisiana territory. On the way they met a Indian Sacajawea that helped them make it without getting attacked by other Indians.
2. The California Gold rush, when news spread about a farmer finding out about gold in his backyard. settlers came to CA as fast as they could so that they could still get in on the gold.
3. When Lewis and Clark came back from their expedition, they showed the president some items they found like plants and animal skins. By this the Americans were fascinated on how many new things there were and so the Americans started to settle over there.

ReplyDeleteBecause they set up deals with the native americans so that they wouldn't be attacked.Because they had supplies to protect, feed and move them such as, rifles, horses, goats, donkeys and chickens.
because they had numbers of people with them so they could overpower anyone and set up camp or make a town anywhere.
Because Lewis and Clarke were hired to explore and discover the west, the reason for this was because the U.S. had just purchase the Louisiana territory.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason was because of the California gold rush, when the news came to the U.S. that farmers in the west were finding gold, they wanted to get to the west as fast as they could to get gold. On the way there they met Sacajawea who helped them along the way so they weren't attacked by other Indians.
When Lewis and Clark finished their expedition or adventure they showed the president some items the discovered like animal skins and plants. By this discovery Americans were fascinated at all the new things they had found. So this resulted in many Americans settling in the discovered area.
