Blog discussion about assignment #1. My blog was about Sacagawea's life story!
1. Exploration and Colonization
2. Revolutionary War
3. Westward Expansion
4, Industrial Revolution of the early 1800's
5. Civil War and Reconstruction
Boston Massacre-5 people died and it's known to be a cause of the revolutionary war.
The Battle of Trenton-an important win for the Americans
Paul Revere-rode to warn the colonists about the British coming to steal all the weapons "The British are Coming! The British are Coming!"
Donner Party-a troop went to Donner Lake and set up pretty grubby cabins. There were relief parties but there was still lack of food and canibalism. They were told there was a shortcut with plentiful grass but it was quite the opposite.
Oregon Trail-Used by missionaries, military, and people searching for gold. People died from diseases, drowning, or young kids getting under wind.
Trail of Tears-trail where many indians died while being moved to a different territory.
Inventions-Spinning Jenny- spins a lot faster than the shuttle steam engine- made for train and boat which helped in transportation
What cool stories I learned today! :)
