Yesterday, we were put into pairs to write a skit about Manifest Destiny based on Horace Greeley's quote from the New York Tribune in 1851, "Go west, young man, and grow up with the country." The skits answered questions like what was in the west, if only young men went west, and if we would follow Greeley's advice if we were living in the 1800's.
Today, we learned about the push and pull factors. These are the different things that either pushed or pulled people out west.
