What was the most challenging experience with westward expansion? by Mrs. Dominick https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr Blue Group en-us 2017-02-27 15:42:55 UTC 2017-02-27 16:04:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Nicholas TsakalosI think the homesteaders had a really tough life. For Example, there was many diseases when the women and children got buffalo woodchips. Also, the buffalo woodchips were made from poop. In the Meantime, there were long freezing winters for homesteaders. Meanwhile, there were also blizzards and animals got trapped in them and died. Lastly, there was climate and heat. Finally, the heat and climate was 120 F. In Conclusion, the homesteaders had to go through a very tough time. https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156451290 2017-02-27 15:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156451290 Ella Shultz https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156451612

I think that the homesteaders had the hardest experience. First, sickness like hygiene defect was hard to cure. Also, homesteaders got buffalo wood chips or AKA buffalo poop. In winter, Freezing winters were common, the homesteaders had to live with their animals dyeing.  In the summer the climate would get so hot that the climate would be 120* F, that would be as hot as an oven!!! In conclusion, I think that the homesteaders had hard lives and experiences.

For example, it was a long journey and it took 5 months. Also, for preparing it took 2 weeks. In addition, there was hard transportation and it was uncomfortable in the wagons. In fact, bad weather caused dust storms. Lastly, I think it is pioneers because it was a long and hard journey.

I think this because the trip took 2,000 miles and 5 months. Also planning and packing took 2 weeks.in fact pioneers had very hard transportation sick people had to ride in a uncunfral wagon and the heathy people walked. Another challenge was bad weather such as dust storms. Sometimes pioneers got dirty water sickness and maybe even die because of that. That is why I think pioneers had the longest and hardest trip. https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156451736 2017-02-27 15:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156451736 Cole Dowell I think that building the Transcontinental Railroad is the toughest job. First it’s hard to build because of bad weather. Next it took a long time to build it took from 1862 to 1869. Then they placed the railroads on bad surfaces. Finally it was 2,000 miles of dry plains, deserts and mountains. Inconclusion I think the railroad workers had the toughest job. https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156456192 2017-02-27 16:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156456192 Tommy Volikas https://padlet.com/mdominick/5r9bh6kcpgqr/wish/156456393 I think homesteading is very hard.  For example, there were many diseases.  Most diseases involved hygiene difficultly.  In fact, there were also freezing weathers most animals died from the cold.  Lastly, the climate was usually hot {except in winter} the tempters can reach up to 120 degrees F.  As a result, I think homesteading is very hard.
