Imagine you are living in 1790 and you have decided to move from Massachusetts
into the western territories. Write a diary-style passage explaining what you are expecting from
moving west and the obstacles that you may have to overcome. Take into account the
difference in climate, the terrain, the people you will encounter, etc.

By 1790, the law had been ratified and the new country instituted. This country grew quickly from 1790 to 1860. This population increased from 3,929,000 at 1790, to 31,443,000 at 1860. At 1790, this Mississippi River was the West edge of the United States . By 1860, the United States limits extended from sea to sea, its area more than doubled. Some developments were particularly significant to the region. After this struggle for freedom, the United States operated large tracts of common realm between the Appalachian Range and the Mississippi River. Two questions loomed across this Appalachians. Settlers squatted on lands, while speculators hatched grandiose strategies to purchase and sell West lands for significant gains. An organized choice had to be invented to move public domain to private ownership. The second question centred on the highest political position of the public realm.
