Settlers sought opportunities to spread ‘American values across the trans-Mississippi West, driven by Manifest Destiny, as well as by the ‘market revolution, transportation advancements, and increased nationalism. Settlers Move West By 1840, thousands had moved into what is now Texas, with a few braving the trail to present-day Oregon. Throughout the 1840s, a flood of settlers began traversing the dangerous Oregon Trail Families traveled up to six months in caravans, covering only about 15 miles per day with good weather, While living on the trail, some women began to run prayer meetings and schools to ‘maintain some vestiges of home. Women also began to take on new roles outside of homemaking and childcare, such as repairing wagon wheels and tending to livestock. Expansion and American Indians As American settlers moved west, they encountered American Indian tribes, who had lived in the Great Plains region for centuries. Although there was occasional conflict between American Indians and American settlers, there were no large-scale clashes or battles. The lives of the Plains tribes, however, were dramatically altered by the increasing presence of the Sioux Indians. The Sioux had gradually moved westward since the mid-eighteenth century due to the spread of guns and horses, which they used to fight for territory and hunt buffalo. By the early nineteenth Century, the Sioux had gained control over much of the Great Plains. However, they were unable to maintain their control of the land due to relentless westward expansion by American settlers Trouble with Territories ‘Westward expansion became a major political issue when Martin Van Buren was elected president in 1836. Van Buren’s presidency was matred by an economic depression resulting from the policies of his predecessor, Andrew Jackson. The Panic of 1837, much like the Panic of 1819, was caused by overspeculation on Western lands, faulty loans from “wildcat” Western banks, the absence of a national bank, and Jackson’s Specie Circular, which decreed that all federal land be paid for in gold or silver, These factors placed enormous strain on the economy, and the impact of the depression lasted until the early 1840s. Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too, and New Expansion Van Buren fought for reelection in 1840 against Whig Party candidate William Henry Harrison, hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe. Mudslinging was fierce in the election, with Whigs blaming "Martin Van Ruin’ for the economic crisis and Democrats accusing Harrison of being an alcoholic, The 1 | 140 TEST WHAT YOU LEARNED Questions 1 and 2 refer to the excerpt below: (rica Period 5: 1844-1877 “Whereas the President of the United States, in his message of May 11, 1846, has declared that ‘the ‘Mexican Government not only refused to receive him, [the envoy of the United States, or listen to his Propositions, but, after a long-continued series of menaces, has at last invaded our feritory and shed the blood of our fellow-citizens on our own soil And again, in his message of December 8, 1846, that ‘we had ample cause of war against Mexico long before the breaking out of hostilities; but even then we forbore to take redress into our own hands until Mexico herself became the aggressor, by invading ou soil in hostile array, and shedding the blood of our citizens Abraham Lincoln, speech before the U.S. House of Representatives, 1847 1.
