LEWIS AND CLARK
THIS IS A VERY LONG JOURNEY. I HOPE THAT THEY ARE PAYING US TO DO THIS.
WOW. THIS LAND IS AMAZNG LOOK AT ALL OF THE DEER, BERRIES AND OTHER ANIMALS. IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
ZEBULON PIKE
THIS IS A DESERT!!
SINCE THE PEOPLE IN FRANCE WHERE HAVING A LOT OF WARS, THEY DID NOT REALLY NEED ALL OF THIS LAND. SO, THEY SOLD IT TO AMERICA. THE UNITED STATES WANTED THE LAND BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO EXPAND THEIR COUNTRY.
STEPHEN H. LONG
THE USA BOUGHT THE LAND FROM FRANCE BUT THE LAND WAS NOT EXPLORED YET. THEY SENT LEWIS AND CLARK TO SEE WHAT WAS OUT THERE. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. THEY ONLY TRAVELED 123 MILES OUT OF THEIR 8,000 MILE JOURNEY IN KANSAS.
JACKSON'S SPEECH
I WANT EVERY NATIVE THAT LIVES ON THE GOOD LAND IN THE EAST TO MOVE OUT!
YEAH!!!!
WHEN ZEBULON CAME INTO KANSAS HE SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A COMPLETE DESERT. THE REASON WHY LEWIS AND CLARK HAD SUCH DIFFERENT IDEA OF KANSAS IS BECAUSE ZEBULON PIKE WENT TO THE VERY WEST OF KANSAS. EVEN NOW, IT IS STILL A REALLY DRY.
INDIAN REMOVAL ACT
STEPHEN LONG RODE IN THE WOLF RIVER BY STEAMBOAT. THIS WAS THE SAME PLACE THAT ZEBULON ENCOUNTERED. THIS WAS THE WESTERN PART OF KANSAS. HE CALLED THIS HOT PLACE, "THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT."
I AM GOING TO CALL THIS... "THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT."
WOW...... IT IS HOTTER THAT HADES RIGHT HERE.
ANDREW JACKSON WANTED ALL OF THE WHITE PEOPLE TO HAVE REALLY GOOD FARMING LAND IN THE EAST. HIS PLAN WAS TO MOVE ALL OF THE NATIVES TO THE LAND JUST BOUGHT IN THE WEST. JACKSON WAS THE PRESIDENT AT THE TIME.
YEAH!!WE WANT OUR LAND!!MAKE THEM MOVE!!YEAH!!
SINCE THE "WHITE" AMERICANS WERE MOVING IN THE EAST, THE NATIVES WERE REMOVED AND PUSHED INTO THE WEST. THEY HAD TO TRY TO LIVE AND SURVIVE OUT IN THE DESERT LAND THAT THE NATIVES KNEW NOTHING ABOUT.
