Chapter 17: The Trans-Mississippi West, 1860-1900

The Trans-Mississipi West river, which was considered the Great Plains of the river. It happened to be one of the most agricultural places. Different Indian tribes lived in the area and used the Buffalo as their agricultural economy, food source, and everything else that comes along with it. This war went on with the Indians and the settlers. Sadly, I feel this is the expansion of the Trail of Tears, and I didn't understand why they needed to have different settlers settling into the native tribes land when they were there in the first place.
Settlers weren't the only thing that was spreading. Mormonism was spreading along the coastal regions where they would have different types of religion. It happened to be one of the most contradictory and how it would be one of the famous religions until it happened to die out.
