If you don't make it up the mountain in time you will be forced to stop the wagon and many will die because of their being no food; or they become the food.Americans where willing to wage war to expand west and many died at the battle of the Alamo. In the process of expanding west the steamboat was invented but over 1/2 of the early models exploded.]]> 2022-02-07 18:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolmkey/x2vafpy8tqrt6pvw/wish/2033745876 Cost malcolmkey https://padlet.com/malcolmkey/x2vafpy8tqrt6pvw/wish/2033757048 The cost for a wagon and oxen is $5000 in money today. It can take families up to 5 years to save enough money to join the exodus.The cost of resources like food' gun ware and cooking utensils were not included in the $5,000 purchase. When the invention of the stagecoach came around in the 1800s it was a way to get a large group of people moving west at once but the more you paid the less you would have to get out and walk or help the stuck wagon.We also had to buy a lot of the land like we did with the Louisiana Purchase for 15 Million Dollars.]]> 2022-02-07 18:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolmkey/x2vafpy8tqrt6pvw/wish/2033757048 How long it took malcolmkey https://padlet.com/malcolmkey/x2vafpy8tqrt6pvw/wish/2036120531 The Oregon Trail was 2000 miles long and took almost 6 months to complete.
