1 CHAPTER 8 The West Study Guide Lesson 1: Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River Alexandra Reimer I. Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River A. The United States Expands 1. President Thomas Jefferson a. Preparing for Exploration Isaac Melanson I. Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River B. Lewis and Clark Explore the West 1. Meriwether Lewis a. Introduction b. Across the Plains c. Achievements of the Expedition On May 14, 1804, 44 men including Lewis and Clark started boating down the Missouri River to find the northwest passage. The name of their trip was Corps of Discovery. Lewis was an intelligent man who studied botany, Clark was a mapmaker, journalist, and navigator. Nobody had any clue what they would find. How long had the Rocky Mountains run? Where was the pacific coast? The men had very little complaints, except for the bugs. The trip ended being one of the most successful expeditions ever. Only one man died among all of them. Even though they did not discover the Northwest Passage. This expedition gave great knowledge of the western land. The discoveries were so great it had fur traders rushing to the west. Also the people who had a record of moving west continued on beyond the Mississippi. Taylor Huss I. Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River B. Lewis and Clark Explore the West 1.William Clark a. In the end of October the voyage was in the walls of the tribe of Mandan in North Dakota. They planed to stay the winter so they built huts in and called it Fort Mandan. In the spring they hired a fur trader named Toussaint Charbonneau to be their interpreter. He agreed to do it if he could bring his slave Sacajewea who was also his Shoshone wife. She helped translate, cook, and find plants to eat and use as medicine. b. In April1805, the rivers started to flow again and than the voyage continued. They crossed the the plains and than slowly journeyed up the Rocky Mountains. The mountains were full of ice and snow. They soon reached the bottom of the mountains. And reached the towering falls of Missouri. The water was coarse so the explorers had to get out of the boat and carry it. There were rocks on the shore that cut their feet. Other little pebbles and rocks made them off balance and they fell in the water various times. ( Continued on Sacajawea)
2 Liz Wallace I. Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River (continued from William Clark) B. Lewis and Clark Explore the West 2. Sacajawea b. A meeting with the Shoshone tribe made up for these trials. Climbing on horses, the warriors ran up to the explorers. The Shoshone were now led by Sacajawea's brother. They embraced the members of the voyage, happy to see Sacajawea. Using horses, the explorers struggled going over the mountains. They left the horses with Nez Perce. He promised to take care of them during the winter. After the explorers went down the west slopes of the Rockies, they made new boats and followed the Columbia river to the Pacific Ocean. They spent the winter of by the shore at Fort Clatsop. Each day they only had 4 deer and 1 buffalo for food. At spring, the game was scarce. Sometimes the explorers were forced to eat squirrels or crows. They reached St. Louis on September 23, c. The expedition was one of the most successful journeys in U.S. History. It didn't find the Northwest Passage, but the voyage added a lot of knowledge of the Western lands. Lewis and Clark were the first to map out the Columbia River which strengthened American claim to the Oregon Country. Clarks description of the animals made the fur trappers to move west. Nick Stellpflug 7 I. Lesson 1: Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River C. Mountain Men Blaze Trail 1. Jedediah Smith b. Pathfinders of the West Jedediah Smith was a big scarred man from a grizzly bear attack. He went through the South Pass (present day Wyoming) and then went through the continental divide. The continental divide is the line that divides rivers that flow west from those who travel east. Then Smith went to Oregon and Washington to explore. Many mountain m`en were very good at observing and remembered many trails to follow. Their trails later became the trails that pioneers moved west on. Mountain men didn't usually document their travels. That job was for government expeditions. Aaron Lockhart 7 I. Exploring Beyond the Mississippi C. Mountain Men Blaze Trail a. World of the Mountain Men The mountain men lived a hard and demanding life. They tracked and trapped animals for fur to sell and make clothing for themselves. They would wear deerskin coats decorated with beads and pouches. They spent most of the year alone or with some fellow mountaineers.
3 Each spring he goes to the rendezvous in the summer to trade and sell their furs. They would meet up with old friends there. They would share stories of their travels and expeditions through the mountains. This was a rare occasion to socialize before returning to the trails. There were also as many as 5,000 Indians who met there to purchase furs. Terms to Include: Mountain Man: A toughened man who travels through the trails in the mountains and trapped furs. Rendezvous: A French Word for Meeting Place. Breanna McFaul II. Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River C. Mountain Men Blaze Trails 1. John C. Fremont a. Government Expeditions General Zebulon Pike was the first government explorer. In , he explored the upper Mississippi and the land from central Colorado and farther down south. In Colorado, he climbed up the Pike Peak halfway, which was named after him. In the 1840s, some people persuaded the government to promote the journeys to the west. John C. Fremont, who was a member of the U.S. Army topographical corps, married the daughter of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, Jessie Benton. Fremont was chosen to lead several of the expeditions. He met and hired Kit Carson on a steamboat going up the Mississippi River in She is calm, mild mannered and had little education. She spoke French, Spanish, and numerous Indian dialects and Indian sign language. In comparison to Kit, Fremont was well-educated in mathematics, topography, geology, and botany. Allison Loderbauer I.Exploring Beyond the Mississippi River C. Mountain Men Blaze Trails 2.Kit Carson a. Government Expeditions b. Terms to include: Zebulon Pike: one of the first government explorers. He explored upper Mississippi and from central Colorado south the next year. Zebulon climbed Pikes Peak in Colorado which is named after him. Manifest Destiny: The idea that the United States had a duty to expand from the Atlantic to Pacific. This idea was made in One step to this goal, was the Louisiana Purchase. Between the years 1820 and 1850 the United States took many other steps to achieve its objective.

After Santa Anna was captured and forced to sign and independence treaty, Mexico still said that Texas was theirs. They said that the treaty was signed by force. 2. Texas wanted to become part of the United States but the U.S. wouldn't annex (to add to the union) them because it would disturb the balance of the 13 slave states and 13 free states. 3.

He tried to convince people from the United States to move to Texas by offering them free land. Many immigrants came and the population went from 35,000 people in 1836 to 147,000 people in 10 years. People came to farm large crops and herd cattle. The more the population grew, the more the demand for Texas to be annexed. Robyn Fredericks II. Lesson 2: Achieving Manifest Destiny B. Texas Gains Independence 2. Susanna Dickinson a. Independence Proclaimed 1. While the Alamo was taking place, a group of people, delegates, got together to write a constitution for Texas. They decided that Texas should no longer be ruled by Mexico and proclaimed their independence. Then wrote the constitution based on the U.S. document. 2. The new republic was desperate. Santa Anna was determined to end protesting against his rule. After winning the battle of the Alamo, he accomplished in defeating the Texans at Goliad. He, once again, ordered all the prisoners to be killed. Sam Houston, commander of the disarranged Texan army, led his troops on a steady retreat (they wanted to stop and fight). 3.

In return, Mexico had to give the U.S. most of the land north of the Rio Grande. 2. James K. Polk was the 11 th president of the United States. 3. The Southwestern states we gained were Texas and everything west of it up to Oregon. 4. Annex to take territory as if by conquest 5. War was declared on Mexico by the U.S. Congress on May 13, 1846 Addie Vanden Boom III. Lesson 2: Achieving Manifest Destiny C. War with Mexico a. Introduction b. Just before the war, the American troops seized the Mexican General, Mariano Vallejo and because of this, the Americans took on many victories south of Rio Grande. In the battle, the Mexican army put up a good fight but the American troops were still able to defeat them because they had better weapons and a well trained army. c. Because of this battle, the Americans were able to accomplish their main priority in achieving Manifest Destiny by expanding their country from sea to shining sea. d. Terms to Include: 1. Guadaloupe Hidalgo 2. The American General who succeeded throughout this whole time was Winfield Scott 3. As a result of this, Mexico sold the rest of New Mexico and Arizona to the United States. The land gained from Mexico also included the Spanish settlers that lived there who soon became citizens of the United States. And as the white settlers continued to travel westward, the treaty that would protect Mexican Americans in that area was usually not enforced.

A lot of other faiths disliked the Mormons because of some of their beliefs like having several wives. The Mormons had a community in Nauvoo, Illinois where Smith was both mayor and religious leader. Later Nauvoo grew to 20,000 people and it became the largest city in Illinois. In 1844, some Mormons accused Smith of treason. The Mormons were then led by Brigham Young. He brought them to the Great Basin which is the desert west of the Rockies. In 1849 the Mormons settled at the Great Salt Lake in the state of Utah.

Some people also had to leave there furniture behind. Others died from drinking poisonous water. Some even got killed my Indians on there journey. Life on the frontier wasn't any better for them, even experienced farmers it didn't go well with the new climate. Children were expected to feed livestock, and the pioneer woman would stay up all night mending, making candles, preserving food, and caring for the sick family members.
10 Carrie Oudenhoven IV. Surviving on the Frontier B. Hardships of the Overland Trail 1. Charlotte Stearns Pengra and other traveler a. Charlotte went on a trip in 1849, 30,000 people traveled the Overland Trail. 55,000 came the next year. After this year, the number decreased. By 1860, 145,000 more people moved to the west. Some people turned back because the journey was just too hard. People were dying and so there was bodies all over the place and since they were traveling so long, they couldn't have a lot of weight so they couldn't take all of their furniture either. They faced the challenge of running out of food and also finding water to drink and take baths in. b. The overland trail went from Independence, Missouri to Sutter's fort in California and was 2,000 miles long. Along the trip, women were expected to do their normal chores like: sow clothes, wash clothes, cook, clean the wagon and much more. Men's chores were to: caring for the animals, fix the wagon, planning routes with the wagon train captain, hunt, and stand guard at night. Most likely a family would have four to five oxen because their wagon were so heavy. Kimberly Boots V. Surviving on the Frontier C. Impact of the Westward Movement 1. Native American a. The hardships shared by people on the frontier gave them a sense of regionalism, of belonging to a distinct area. Settlements grew into communities and then grew into towns with doctors, storekeepers, lawyers, sheriffs, and deputies. In 1859 Richard Henry Dana returned to the port of San Francisco. b. The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo guaranteed the rights of Mexican citizens living on the lands ceded to the United States in Prospectors came in and took possession which includes the forty-niners. Ownership of land was not clear. Rancheros that fought lost their land. In a few years after, rancheros were gone,. In the decades after, almost everyone lost their land grants. Many people, who owned their plantation, now were working for it. Indians became alarmed as the West continued got bigger with population. They sometimes attacked wagons. Later, the clash between them came. c. Those who journeyed west found that the mountains were much higher than in other parts of the United States. Everything was higher or faster. The trail and journey was hard and brought out everyone's personality. Traveling gave them a sense of a community. They learned to cooperate in building and living in homes, schools, and churches. Westerners learned how to repair and fix their own things and needs. People in other parts of the United States developed a sense of belonging to a particular region.
