Description
Heed the government's urging and Go West with the many people who accepted the challenge. Motivated by the ideal of Manifest Destiny—the right of the United States to expand across the continent—the U.S. government created laws that encouraged settlers to move west by offering free land. News stories describe significant events, including the independence of Texas and the Mexican–American War. Travel with settlers on the great migration routes, such as the Oregon Trail, and find out how the farmers who made up the bulk of the settlers lived in their new communities.
