The Westward Expansion, Talking about the Gold Rush
Storyboard Text
- Have you ever heard of the Califonia gold rush?
- No, please tell me more.
- Oh my! I didn't know that, that is crazy.
- It started in January of 1848, and brought thousands of people.
- Once everyone found out their was gold they rushed to California. Along the way they set up these boomtowns, which were towns of a few hundred then grew to a couple thousand,
- Really that is crazy, I have never heard of this before. What else happened?
- Well a couple hundred people struck it rich, but most were left empty- handed. This was kind of like the Lottery, you are lucky if gold was still their, because most of it was already taken.
- I have heard something like this I remember people going their but getting nothing in return.
- Most people just stayed their because of how long and traitorous the journey was to get their, and this led to the west getting populated.
- Wow, so that is why the west stayed so populated, that is so cool.
- This movement, the westward expansion, brought hundreds of thousands of people west, in hope of finding gold and a new life.
- This talk was so interesting, thanks for telling me about the westward expansion.
