The Western Pioneers Chapter 9 Section 1

Americans Head West In 1800 less than 400,000 settlers lived west of the Appalachian Mountains. By the time the Civil War began, more Americans lived west of the Appalachians than lived along the Atlantic coast. Americans moved west for religious reasons and to own their own farms. A magazine editor named John Louis O’Sullivan declared that the movement west was Manifest Destiny—the idea that God had given the continent to Americans and wanted them to settle western lands. The first settlers west of the Appalachians were squatters, because they settled on lands they did not own. Farming in the Midwest was made easier by new farming technology. In 1819 Jethro Wood patented a plow with an iron blade. In 1837 John Deere designed a plow with sharp-edged steel blades that cut cleanly through the tough Midwestern sod. In 1834 Cyrus McCormick patented the mechanical reaper.

Settling the Pacific Coast The push to settle Oregon and California happened partly because emigrants thought the Great Plains had poor farming land. Native Americans and other nations had already claimed parts of Oregon and California. The U.S. and Great Britain both wanted to own Oregon. As a result of the encouragement of American missionaries, many Easterners settled in southern Oregon. Mexico controlled California, but its distance from Mexico City made it difficult to govern. In 1839 the governor of California wanted to attract more settlers, so he granted 50,000 acres in Sacramento Valley to a German immigrant, John Sutter. Sutter built a trading post and cattle ranch on his land.

Settling the Pacific Coast Pioneers who headed to the Pacific from the east had to cross difficult terrain. Mountain men, such as Kit Carson and Jim Bridger, made their living by trapping beaver and selling the furs to traders. They also gained knowledge of the territory and the Native Americans who lived there. By the 1840s, the mountain men had carved out several east-west passages, such as the Oregon Trail. These trails were very important to the settlement of the West. At first, wagon trains hired mountain men to guide them. After the trails became worn, most overlanders—those who traveled west in wagon trains—used guidebooks written by earlier emigrants. In 1846 the Donner Party—a group of 87 overlanders named after the brothers who led them—were trapped by winter snows in the Sierra Nevada. Almost half the party died of starvation. Between 1840 and 1860, attacks by Native Americans were rare. As overland traffic increased, however, Native Americans on the Great Plains were concerned and angry over the threat that immigration might change their way of life. The federal government and eight Native American groups negotiated the Treaty of Fort Laramiein 1851.

The Mormon Migration In 1844 a mob murdered the Mormon leader Joseph Smith. Brigham Young, the new leader of the Mormons, decided to take his people west in search of religious freedom. Several thousand Mormons emigrated on the Mormon Trail. In 1847 the Mormons stopped at the Great Salt Lake to build their new settlement.
