The first people to migrate to Oregon were missionaries. " Oregon Fever broke out", because of reports about Oregon's rich land.Many people traveled on the Oregon Trail, because of stories they would hear. The Oregon Trail stretched 2,000 miles from Independence ,Missouri to the Oregon Territory. The Oregon trail was very dangerous, and pioneers survival depended on cooperation.

William Becknell set out to Santa Fe, New Mexico with hardware, cloth, and china. This created the Santa Fe Trail. Becknell made large profits and word spread of becoming rich in New Mexico. The next spring, Becknell journeyed again to Santa Fe. He had a wagon, but couldn't make it over the mountain, so he had to take a shortcut. Becknell and his men ran out of water and had to drink animals blood. Finding a stream, saved their lives and they made it to Santa Fe. Becknell returned with another large profit. ]]> 2018-02-05 20:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228336002 22faddask https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228338392 Challenges of Westward expansion were disease, starvation, conflict with other nations, and harsh climates. ]]> 2018-02-05 20:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228338392 22polakky https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228340827 Mountain men spent must of there summer alone in the wilderness, trapping small animals for their furs. To get the animals furs, they explore the Great plains and far west, and set traps in the icy waters. These adventures that the men went on made Mountain men known for the rugged loners. Most Mountain men weren't as independent as people thought. They were mostly economic figures, who sold the furs to business men for money.

The U.S. had manifest destiny, which is to believe that their purpose was to expand west to the Pacific Ocean. The people moving west set out for adventure.]]> 2018-02-05 20:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228342002 22faddask https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228342797 After the Louisiana Purchase, people went West to gain land. They hoped to make more money in the future. Merchants went in hope to earn profit. The motive of people to expand was money, land, markets, jobs, escape, and adventure.The U.S. set out in hope for all of these. This caused the people to act in a certain way to get more. Some people might've acted selfish and really concerned in being rich. This was the economic incentive.]]> 2018-02-05 20:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228342797 22polakky https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228347356 Manifest Destiny is one of the purposes of Westward Expansion. ]]> 2018-02-05 20:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228347356 22polakky https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228353969 2018-02-05 20:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22polakky/gckis4gth9ta/wish/228353969
