2 Unit 5 Geography Challenge Geography Skills Analyze the maps in Setting the Stage for Unit 5 in the Student Text. Then answer the following questions and fill out the map as directed. 1. Label the Louisiana Territory on your map and highlight its borders. What year was it added to the United States? How did adding this region change the size of the nation? Adding the Louisiana Territory in 1803 about doubled the size of the United States. 2. Highlight the borders of Texas and the Mexican Cession and label these two regions. When was each region added to the United States? Texas was added in 1845 and the Mexican Cession in What other territory was acquired from Mexico? Label it on your map. The Gadsden Purchase was the other territory acquired from Mexico. 3. What three trails crossed the Louisiana Territory from Independence, Missouri? Draw and label each trail. The Oregon Trail crossed the Louisiana Territory on the way to Portland. The Santa Fe Trail crossed it on the way to Santa Fe. The California Trail crossed it on the way to Sacramento. Locate and label the cities at the ends of each trail. Also locate and label the city of Independence. 4. Label and lightly shade or outline Oregon Country. When did it become part of the United States? The United States added Oregon Country in Draw and label the Old Spanish Trail. Locate and label its western end. The western end of the Old Spanish Trail was Los Angeles. 6. Which rivers and mountain ranges did settlers have to cross when following the Santa Fe Trail and the Old Spanish Trail to California? Label those rivers and mountains. Following the Santa Fe and Old Spanish trails to California required settlers to cross the Arkansas River, Rio Grande, and Colorado River as well as the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada. (Note: Students may not be certain about the Arkansas River.) 7. Locate Sacramento. Where did the trail that settlers took to reach this city leave the Oregon Trail? Locate and label that place on your map. The California Trail left the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall. 8. Locate and label South Pass. Which three trails crossed the Rocky Mountains at South Pass? Make sure all three trails are labeled on your map. The Mormon, California, and Oregon trails crossed the Rocky Mountains at South Pass. Unit 5 Geography Challenge 2

3 Unit 5 Geography Challenge Critical Thinking Answer the following questions in complete sentences. 9. Why do you think the Mormon, Oregon, and Santa Fe trails each followed rivers for such a long distance? What benefit would such a route have for travelers? By following rivers, the trails provided travelers with a source of water along much of their journey. 10. Why would travel by wagon through the mountains have been slower than travel across desert or plains? Moving wagons over mountains, and with snow and cold weather, would have been slower than riding over flat land. 11. How might the United States purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France have helped encourage American settlers to later travel to Oregon and California? Had the Louisiana Territory not become part of the United States, Americans traveling to Oregon and California would have had to cross land that belonged to another nation. This might have discouraged Americans from settling in these regions. 3 Unit 5 Geography Challenge

5 3. What deal was made on April 30, 1803? Give two reasons why Napoleon was willing to make this deal with the United States. The United States agreed to buy the Louisiana Territory for $15 million.

The United States agreed to pay $5 million in settlers claims and to honor Spain s claim to Texas. Section 3 1.

General Santa Anna marches 6,000 troops into Texas to crush the rebels. The Texans are defeated at the Alamo, with no survivors. April Texans yell Remember the Alamo! as they surprise attack and defeat the Mexican army near the San Jacinto River. Santa Anna is captured. Texas is a free and independent country known as the Republic of Texas. 3. What happened to Texas in 1845? Give one argument against and one argument in favor of this decision. Texas became a part of the United States. Possible arguments against: Annexation might lead to war with Mexico. Some Northerners did not want to add another slave state to the nation.

What did James Polk mean when he declared Fifty-four forty or fight! in the 1844 presidential campaign? Did he follow through with this campaign promise? Explain. Polk wanted the United States to have the entire Oregon Country and was willing to fight Britain for it. He did not follow through with this promise, but instead used diplomacy to reach a compromise that gave half of Oregon to the United States and half to Britain. Section 5 1. Why did President Polk think the Mexican government might want to sell California and New Mexico? Polk thought the Mexican government might sell California and New Mexico because they were thinly settled and neglected by the Mexican government. 2.

The United States agreed to pay Mexico $15 million. The United States promised to protect Mexican citizens living in Texas and the Mexican Cession. Opposition: Some senators opposed the treaty because they felt the United States only had a right to Texas, not the Mexican Cession. Others opposed the treaty because they also wanted it to cede parts of northern Mexico. 5. Why did the United States buy the Gadsden Purchase in 1853? Railroad builders wanted this flat piece of land to build a new route across the nation. Manifest Destiny and the Growing Nation 8
