DOCUMENT BASED QUESTION
HISTORICAL CONTEXT

of people migrated west. This period of
westward expansion was called
Manifest Destiny. It created
opportunities as well as problems for the
new settlers in the west.
TASK

why people migrated westward
during the mid-1800s and the
challenges they faced along the
way.
DOCUMENT 1
DOCUMENT 2
(PRESIDENT POLK ON EXPANSION)
“We must ever maintain the principle that the people of
this continent alone have the right to decide their own
destiny. (It is) my duty to assert and maintain by all
constitutional means the right of the United States to that
portion of our territory which lies beyond the Rocky
Mountains…Eighty years ago our population was
confined on the west by the ridge of the
Alleghenies…our people, increasing to many millions,
have filled the eastern valley of the Mississippi,
adventurously ascended the Missouri to its headsprings
and are already engaged in establishing the blessings of
self-government in valleys of which the rivers flow to the
Pacific…To us belongs the duty of protecting them
adequately wherever they may be upon our soil.”
DOCUMENT 3
DOCUMENT 4
“So you see that all is not Gossip about
California, after all, there is gold here in
abundance, but it requires patience & hard
labor, with some skill & experience to obtain it.
If any man has his health & will work, he can
make more than ten times as much here as he
can in the states in the same length of time. But
many, very many, that come here meet with
bad success & thousands will leave their bones
here. Others will loose their health, contract
diseases that they will carry to their graves with
them.”
