I wouldn't go because many people died because of diseases and I don't have the supplies that I would need to use a lot of money to get a lot of materials

# data[].attributes.body
i would not travel the trail for multiple reasons. #1, the sickness is vile and deadly, and increases my risk of death #2, all of the challenges could pose a threat, including tempretures, enviromets, and other emmigrants

Westward Expansion is dangerous but worth it!

# data[].attributes.body
I would go on the trail because although it is very dangerous, most people made it and it would be good for the country and a better life for me. There would be better farmland and more space. There are many diseases but if im cautious enough I could most likely survive. I would have to start from scratch but it's better than having to live in a crowded area. I think moving West would be good for the country.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not go. It would be very busy and dangerous. It wouldn't be as easy as it seems.  I would rather be safe and not take risks of dying. There is many diseases. Although the crowds of people who are leaving are going for land, they are crowding their new land. Since they are leaving their land, there is now a decent amount of land if you stay.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not want to go because there are a lot of bad things that could happen. I heard that there was gold out west but with my luck I wouldn't find any. Plus if I don't find any gold, the cost to get out there would be a lot. Also I don't want to get any chances of getting diseases which will make me sick):

# data[].attributes.body
I would not like to go because you can get sick and there is a bunch of diseases and you could run out of food and die of hunger

# data[].attributes.body
No because I would probably mess up something or I would get a disease, also it is not worth the risk of traveling through mountains, rivers, and ground with a chance of disease.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I would go because there is a bunch of opportunities out in the west. First, we can get a bunch of lands to farm on. Also, you can grow crops to make a bunch of money. Finally, most people made it on the way there, even though it was a hard journey.

# data[].attributes.body
I would go because most people make it to the west. The west would create more opportunities for me and my family.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I would move out west. I would move out west because if i were in the 1800's, I would think it's my destiny to expand west. I would just like to help my country expand west, to help my country grow. Another reason I would move out west is because over population in the east, basically it was too crowded. My last reason is because there was gold and better opportunities in the west/better farm land, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not want to go on the trail because many didn't make it to Oregon and also there were many challenges along the way. Even though there would be many better opportunities for me and my family I don't think it is really worth risking our lives to go west when we might not even make it there alive. There would also be many diseases traveling with many people and accidentally drinking unclean water or having bad hygiene. I just want our family to be safe and I don't think it would be a good idea because I would lose many loved ones along the way as well and we could only bring a limited amount of supplies. That is why I wouldn't travel along the Oregon Trail Westward .

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because even tho it would be a hard journey, I would have a chance to start a new life in hope of getting riches. Also, if I got to Oregon, I would get more space, I could
farm, and get new friends.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because I would get better farm land and make more money off of food and not mine for gold because I would go broke shopping for gold mining material.

# data[].attributes.body
No I wouldn't go because I don't have the right materials to use on the journey.It is dangerous and there are illness's that could kill me. I could also die due to starvation and I feel safer if I stay where I am currently living.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not go out west because I can only bring limited supplies. I would also not go because catching an illness would be very easy since people did not have much medicine

# data[].attributes.body
I would not travel out west because I could get any terrible sickness. I would stay at my land and be happy with what I had. I would not want to watch my friends and family die along the way. If I took the Oregon trail I would be unhappy because I had everything on my homeland and I would waste supplies and risk my life for no reason. If crowding was a problem everyone would travel away providing space for others who stayed.

# data[].attributes.body
I would definitely go out west
-space
-sites
-money
-free land

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I would survive and go because, I know that I do not get cold very often so, it would be a lot better. I would have the right supplies and go at the right time so i do not go into the winter while climbing The Rocky Mountains. Also I would make the right desions on the way. This is why I would go to travel to the west. Other reasons are because there I would be less crowded also I could grow way more crops.

# data[].attributes.body
I would because if I were to be alive at this time, I would really need to get money quick and I would need land to live on a home and be able to travel short ways to get to a shop or a gold mine.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not travel out west due to the risk of running into problems such as weather issues or oxen stampedes. You could also starve or catch bad diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
No I would not because I would need to give up my life and the journey would be very hard. Who knows if I would make it out, and plus people would be leaving and that would make more space in original land

# data[].attributes.body
I would travel out west because I would get more land and it would be a lot more less crowded and I would have a chance of Getting a bit richer.

# data[].attributes.body
yes would go out west, because it is to crouded hear. Also I need farm land to make money, and I heard that there is some gold out there.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not travel west on the Oregon Trail because I would not like all the risks of the Oregon Trail. I would not like to get an illness or get ran over by a wagon on the trail which sadly did happen. Also I would not like to travel that far and get attacked or die of starvation. The west would be too hard of a journey and definitely a journey I would not like to take. I would also not because I don't want to run out of anything or meet any storms along the way. I also would not like to go because I was already used to my land that is not in the West and I would not like to leave my family and friends. I wouldn't want to go and maybe come across animals that could hurt me. I don't care if it is getting crowded where I live I would still stay. That is why I would not take the risk of going out west on the Oregon Trail.

Would you travel out west on the Oregon Trail if you lived during the 1800's? Why or Why not? Provide evidence to back up your reason.
