The American settlers and Native Americans once lived in
peace after they had gained independence. However, with
their new freedom, they became curious and desired
to explore this new land they lived in. Here is a story
of how the white men conquered and destroyed the
homes and lives of many, stripping freedoms of others
in order to create the perfect country for their people.

The Americans had once gotten along with the Wampanoag

tribe, forming a steady trading relationship. However, they had

become dependent on English goods. sovereignty. War

eventually broke out between the New England settlers and the

Indians. Inevitably, the Wampanoags lost after the Mohawk

Indians sided with the Americans. This was called King Philip's

War after the chief of the Wampanoag tribe whose head was

hung on a stick as a warning to rebellious Indians.

In 1803, the Americans gained 820,000 miles of land from the
Louisiana Purchase, a deal set between the United States and France.
With all this new land, America's size nearly doubled and the white men
became more eager to explore the unknown, which was inhabited by
many Indian tribes.

Then in 1812, the United States fought the "second war of independence"
with Britain. The war did not end until the Treaty of Ghent was signed
on February 17, 1815. Although Americans faced many casualties, the
war symbolized officially breaking ties with Britain.

Mexico started allowing Americans to come into Texas as long as
they conformed to their rule. However, thousands of Americans took
advantage of this land and took refuge in Texas and eventually declared
independence in March of 1836.

With Texas in the hands of the U.S, President Polk wanted
to push forward and also take California. The Mexican
American war

With all their new land, Americans worked to create the Transcontinental Railroad to
connect the east to the west. Now, the nation could be united, and could transport goods
back and forth to boost business. While Americans enjoyed the luxury of easily accessing
a way from the east to the west, they neglected the fact that thousands of workers,
especially Chinese immigrants, died in the process of creating the railroad.

The Transcontinental Railroad not only transported goods to and from
the West, but also brought people to the West.
