Standard 5-2 The student will demonstrate an understanding of the continued westward expansion of
the United States. 5-2.1 Analyze the geographic and economic factors that influenced westward expansion and the ways that these factors affected travel and settlement, including physical features of the land; the climate and natural resources; land ownership and other economic opportunities 5-2.2 Summarize how technologies (such as railroads, the steel plow and barbed wire), federal policies (such as subsidies for the railroads and the Homestead Act), and access to natural resources affected the development of the West. 5-2.3 Identify examples of conflict and cooperation between occupational and ethnic groups in the West, including miners, farmers, ranchers, cowboys, Mexican and African Americans, and European and Asian immigrants 5-2.4 Explain the social and economic efforts of westward expansion on Native Americans, including opposing views on land ownership, Native American displacement, the impact of the railroad on the culture of the Plains Indians, armed conflict, and changes in federal policy.

COVERED WAGONS Pioneers traveled to
beginning points which became known as the
“Gateway to the West.” St. Louis was a famous
starting point.
They also used trails that Native Americans
had used.

Photos of the difficulties
traveling west
Can you imagine?

Other Ways of Traveling West
Explorers and
mountain men
followed the Native
American trails and
wrote guidebooks to
help show the way to
pioneers who came
afterwards. These
trails were traveled
often, which created a
well defined trail.
After the Civil War,
the transcontinental
railroad provided a
way for those who
had the money to
travel to the West.

Migrants first settled on the
west coast and skipped over
the Great Plains.
The Great Plains were
called the “Great
American Desert,”
because it was flat and
dry land. Migrants did
not realize the potential
for farming.

Discuss with your
group:
How were people
able to travel to
the West?

Trails through the mountains were often
impassable during spring rains and winter snows, so
travelers had to leave St. Louis in time to
avoid these conditions.

The climate of the West was also a
challenge to both travelers and
settlers. Weather was unpredictable
(storms, tornadoes).
Obstacles continued once in the West
Cause Effect
Hot, dry summers Drought, dust storms, tons of insects
Snowy winters Spring floods
Early snow or late spring hailstorms
Crops would ruin, lives destroyed

• Technology helped create the plains into
the “Breadbasket of the country.”
The development of plows and irrigation systems helped with
farming.

sold to settlers for farming

used covered wagons

What were some effects of the transcontinental railroad?
Transcontinental Railroad
encouraged trade and economic growth
provided western farmers with a means of
getting their crops to market
Cash crops(corn and wheat) became
profitable as did the raising of cattle and hogs
transported products to processing centers
helped major industries (flour milling) and
meat processing develop in cities

What happened to the environment?
1. Tracks had an impact on natural environment
2. Coal burning engines required more and more fuel
3. Led to an increase in mining
Pollution –
As industries developed, smoke from factories and wastes from processing
plants polluted the air.

Ranchers & Cowboys
Cooperated to develop the cattle industry
Ranchers owned the animals, cowboys drove the herds
Cowboys drove herds: - Across open plains - To the nearest railroad to ship
cattle to processing plants in the east
Eventually the idea of “cattle drives” died out while farming
became a top priority
Townspeople didn’t care for the cowboys & ranchers
After Civil War – farmers settled &
fenced in their land and animals (which
messed up the cattle drives)
Cowboys hated fences.
Some fences were made from barbed wire.
Rustlers – people known for trying to steal cattle from cowboys

Mexican Americans
Southwestern part of US and California coast had both belonged to Spain and then Mexico until the Mexican War in the 1840s
Mexicans - owned property
After war, Mexicans were discriminated against & many lost title to their land

African Americans
Exodusters - encouraged to move to
Kansas
African Americans primarily settled
in Nicodemus, Kansas.
• discrimination in the South
• eager to move west
• After the Civil War, many moved
west in hopes of owning their own
land

European Immigrants • many were too
poor to move to
the West and
stayed in
industrial cities
of the East and
Midwest
• Many settled
with others from
their home
countries
• resented by those
who had been born
in the United
States (nativism)
• formed
communities that
engaged in
cooperative
activities, such as
barn raisings
• helped each other
to be successful in
this new land

Asian Immigrants • searching for gold
• built transcontinental railroads
US government would later pass a law excluding the Chinese from entrance
as immigrants to the United States
Chinese workers
Paid less
Faced discrimination at work sites because of their unique culture
presence was tolerated
attempted to compete with white men in mining
and services
competition for scarce resources and jobs led to increasing prejudices against the
Chinese

Native Americans • In the early stages, Native
Americans welcomed and
cooperated with
explorers of the West.
• It all changed when rich
mineral deposits were
discovered on some
reservations. This drove
more settlers out West.

Americans tried to
resist/fight back these
groups that were on their
land, but conflict
eventually led to a series of
Indian Wars • Native Americans
said the land was
not suitable for
farming & wanted
to keep their
traditional way of
life

In the second half of the 1800s,
farmers and miners claimed the land of
Native Americans that they believed
was theirs.
Native Americans were pushed onto
smaller reservations and some tribes
went to war against the settlers and
soldiers.

Sand Creek Massacre was
one that claimed the lives
of Native American
women and children.
Once silver was
discovered in the Black
Hills, the Native
Americans were driven
out.

BATTLE OF LITTLE
BIGHORN
The Battle of Little Bighorn resulted in Native
Americans being forced off their land due to the
discovery of gold. This war was between the
Native Americans and the US army, which created
public support for a much larger military that
crushed Native American resistance in the area.

One tribe tried to flee to Canada
until the US Army had them

In Wounded Knee, South Dakota, the US soldiers
killed 300 men, women, and children.
Native American tribes sent to new reservations
had trouble adapting their culture to the new
lands.
Poverty, starvation, and depression were common
on the reservations.

Reformers tried to make Native
Americans give up their ways
and adopt the “white man”
culture.
They turned these reservations
into farms and they failed.

Reformers also believed the
children should learn the ways of
the “white man.” They were taken
from their families and sent to
boarding schools far away. They
were taught to speak English and
their hair was cut.

As a result of a civil rights
movement among the
Native Americans, the
culture is being preserved
and their rights honored.
Life is still very hard and
many Native Americans
live in poverty.
