Immigration+Expanded

Here's the rest of the Immigration Project.

First, Use the [] website to complete the following:


 * Tell the story of 2 immigrants and why they came to America. Why did they leave their country? What city did they move to? How did they make a living in America? 10 sentences per person.
 * Make up 1 immigrant's story. Invent the person and then invent a fictional account of their journey to and life in America. 10 sentences.

Next, learn a little something about Westward Expansion by answering these questions. You can answer them with a PowerPoint, essay. poster board, or anything else that you get approved by me.:
 * In the mid to late 1800s, what was life like in the cities along the east coast of the United States?
 * Why was the West a more attractive option? What were some reasons that people moved west?
 * How did many people move west?
 * What were some of the controversies and problems when settlers decided to move west? Make sure you mention slavery.
 * Pick 2 Native American tribes and explain what happened to them when American settlers moved into their territory.
 * How did Westward Expansion contribute to the Civil War?
