Provoked hostility from native-born Americans

The Great West Life on the Plains; Note Sheet 29 Daily Objectives: List the various factors that played a role in the settlement of the West Analyze how the Wild West image of cowboys and Indians was created.

Government Assistance 1. Homestead Act passed in 1862 to encourage settlement of the Plains area -gave 160 acres of land to settlers if they improved the land and lived on it for 5 years 2. Oklahoma giveaway, 1889 (opened “Indian” territory for settlement) -people continued to come for cheap lands and opportunity

New Technology -deeper wells -steel plows (John Deere) 3. better farm equipment (mechanization of farming= Cyrus McCormick, reaper) led to Bonanza farms of over 15,000 acres (huge profits!) Morrill Land Grants gov. gave land to states to build colleges that specialized in agriculture

Life on the Farm -sod houses Built of the soil of great planes -Survived weather extremes Less than 20 in of rain a year- hot summers freezing winters -drought -isolation

Connecting West to East The Pony express and later Morse Code; then the telephone helped unite the western pioneers with the civilized societies of the East.

The birth of the western town As Railway lines stretched farther west, new towns emerged to cater to the business flow. Above, you see the Chicago Stock Yards where cattle would be herded and shipped eastward via the rail lines

Decline of Farming -rise of industry -urbanization (moved to cities for factory jobs) -end of the frontier -Frederick Jackson Turner “Frontier Thesis”=idea that frontier was officially closed -great debts -Railroad charges (unfair)

The Great West Day 2 Ranching and Mining; Note Sheet 28 Daily Objectives: List the various factors that played a role in the settlement of the West Analyze how the Wild West image of cowboys and Indians was created.

Rise of Cattle Ranching -Great Plains area -Open Range= federal owned grasslands where cattle could graze free until cowboys marched them north to rail lines -no boundaries -low population

Rise of Mining -Gold Rushes/ California, Black Hills -Sioux sacred land in South Dakota gold discovered- fueled conflict -Comstock Lode: famous SILVER mine in Nevada - Alaska

Life in Mining Towns Boom-Bust Cycle: people rush to the area and town explodes overnight- when mineral dries up town becomes ghost town -large mix of people -many opportunities for everyone= especially for women (first states to grant suffrage) -saloons, gambling
