Westward Expansion Roles

Tashena Rochester Americans move to settle in the West was purely motivated by the need for more money. The government once thought of the West as uncivilized and that humans should not live there. They thought that only uncivilized people such as the Indians and the wild animals should live there. But after the Civil War, the government encouraged people to move westward for more than one reason. One of the main reasons for Americans to move there was to rob the Indians of their land.

The broken-windows theory was enforced before zero-tolerance policy and the Mayor transitioned into a more strict policy for reducing crime. Broken windows policing was effective in reducing crime rates within the United States. The transition into zero-tolerance policy made the police look at small offenses more seriously because these small offenses and low-level crimes could lead to higher offenses. Zero-tolerance was implemented because the Mayor realized all criminal offenses needed to be taken

Westward expansion had an economical impact on the North and South’s separation in many ways. For every set of land gained, one would be a free state and the other a slave state. The South used its gained land for agricultural improvement, while the North constructed factories and manufacturing buildings to strengthen its industrial economy. Although expansion gave America more opportunities and potential economic growth, expansion also affected the relationship between the North and the South: both groups disputed over several U.S.

However, when the southern states seceded, this gave the Republicans (who were in charge of the federal government) the opportunity to open the west to economic development (Berkin, et. al., 436). The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 and the Home Stead Act of 1862 were put in place by the Republicans to encourage the expansion of the western frontier. The Pacific Railway Act provided the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific companies with sizeable loans, and 10 square miles

The reason why they were excluded was because the boats were exploring the coasts, while TImbuktu is about 200 miles inland from the coast. The result of this was Northern European countries, missed Timbuktu and its valuable resources. Also these explorations hurt Timbuktu because these European countries found the “New World” which boasted a variety of unheard of goods. The impact of this was trade decreased in Timbuktu because of the new goods that were discovered in the New World. This decrease in trade is also depicted in a map that shows trade routes and goods exchanged following European exploration.

The railroad was spread out all over the U.S. in order to build this railroad they had to clear all of the buffalo out of the way of the path, so the white people started to kill the buffalo. Without the buffalo the indians would die. In the 1800’s , the Plains Indians moved westward to allow them to  make a better living and have a good life on the frontier because of the Homestead Act. The homestead Acts were several U.S. laws that gave the citizens ownership of land.

The second difference is safety. In the 1800 's, the world is not that advanced. Because of high risk, so many Chinese immigrants died during the work. The situation in the 1800 's is very hard and immigrants had to facing the death. But for Mexican immigration in today, they don 't have to worry about safety.

The cameras show what really happened at the scene. Police not wearing body cameras is a norm that should be changed. Police should wear body cameras while on the job. The cameras lowered the percentage of police who used lethal force when it was unnecessary, and the cameras keep policeman from being wrongly accused of using lethal force. Although it reveals private information, the information can help the police locate them, along with helping us get a image of what they look like.

Refugees travel to America out of a necessity, a desire to escape

Napoleon saw victory in months but he was wrong. The reason for France’s defeat was because Haiti used guerilla warfare, which was the first time for any country to use this type of attack in the history of modern warfare. Not only did France lose the war but they also lost liberty. Haiti was able to poison their food, their water, they would fight from trees, and they would run away and attack at night. They would attack in small groups and were very mobile.

If we where to this, it would bring jobs, more money for America, and China won 't have control over are companies. When I was little, my grandma use to work in sewing factories and they would make clothes there instead of China making everything. She ended up losing her job, when the company moved overseas. Our president talks about bringing more jobs in America, but he is allowing these companies to travel over sea for less money in order to make these items. However, if you stop and think about it the money we spend in order to ship the items over seas and them ship it back.

The statue of liberty was later built in 1881 by France and was finished in 1886. She welcomed people immigrants

World War II brought emphasis to idea of abandoning ones lifestyle and starting fresh. Many Europeans vacated their homes and looked upon America as an escape. However, America was more than a stone’s throw away and many European citizens did not have the money for travel. Cities along the coastal areas of Western Europe and Northern Africa became vacant as the war proceeded. Refugees were forced to take treacherous paths and avoid militia at all costs to arrive safely at their new destinations.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was placed restricting immigration of all Chinese laborers on the presumption that it endangered good order. This act placed requirements on Chinese stating they must carry identification cards now as well. In addition to this, those who were already living in the country were mandated to get an approval on coming back into the country if they left for any reason. With intentions on only lasting ten years, the act was passed again in 1992, extending it an addition ten years following that. Following the loss of so many Chinese workers and cheap labor, the Mexican Revolution brought an abundance of immigrants into the United States looking of work.

Technology may not seem like it made a huge impact on Western Expansion, but it in fact did. Without the creation and development of railroads, canals and bridges, expansion would have progressed a lot slower and not nearly as efficiently. Railroads allowed farmers to trade crops into the valley and passed the Appalachian’s which were previously off limits due to distance and terrain. Canals are water pathways connecting two bodies of water through a large piece of land. They allowed trade ships to have a shortcut for easier travel on trade voyages.
