Hi,
This week in social studies we will continue our unit: Manifest Destiny in a Growing Nation.
On Monday, we learn how the Louisiana Purchase and the War of 1812 opened the way for settlers to move out west. We will examine the various reasons for westward movement, the various routes that the settlers traveled, and some of the hardships that they faced along the way.
The rest of the week we will focus on how the United States acquired various territories such as the Oregon Country, Texas Annexation, and the Mexican Cession.
