Students,
Today we began watching the PBS documentary The West: Empire on the Trails this production provides us insight into the reasoning to move West in the new United States. It shows us the struggles encountered by settlers and their often time tense relationships with the Natives.
The beauty of this documentary is that it lets you experience this information through personal accounts of individuals journeys in this newly acquired untamed wilderness. Helping you gain a human perspective on this drastic shift in United States history.
It is unfortunately only available to me in HD because I am an Amazon Prime subscriber, but I will post a low quality link below for those of you that were absent.
