“In the early 1800s, the United States needed room to grow.

crowded. New land was expensive. Young families couldn’t afford
to buy farms.
Then, as a solution, the United States government purchased
land from France. The government also acquired land from
Mexico. Soon the country stretched all the way to the Pacific
Ocean. People looked to the setting sun with outstretched arms
and said, “Go west!”
FIND AND LEARN
Settlers rode in wagons or on horses. They followed long, dusty
trails across hot plains for thousands of miles. There was no
shelter. People slept in tents on the ground. They had to watch
out for wild animals like wolves and snakes. The trip west could
take months.
Then a railroad was built that stretched from the East Coast
almost to the West Coast. The railroad made travel faster. More
people poured into the new lands. The settlers quickly built
small towns where the farming, fishing, and mining were good.”
