The starvation got so horrid that they literally killed one another and began to eat the dead. They had no prior knowledge of the lands whatsoever and because many couldn’t swim, they had to resort to building homemade boats that barely floated on the water and were eventually washed up on a beach where…

    We owe America´s success to our founding fathers who broke from England, before that the pilgrims who came here to escape religious persecution. But in the beginning it was the famous explorers who set out to discover new lands for European monarchies that shaped the country and society we live in today. European exploration was a movement during the years 1440-1550 in which Europe's prominent countries: Spain, France, and Portugal, were on a race to conquer the unclaimed lands of the New world. Colonization happened once explorers, hired by the monarchies, claimed lands for their country, and citizens looking new life took a ship to the New World and settled there.…

    Lewis and Clark are known for completing a harrowing journey into the unknown regions of the United States and returning with a wealth of knowledge. The expedition proved to be a valuable asset in paving the way for western expansion in the United States. Unfortunately for the hundreds of thousands of Native Americans living in the West, the exploration spawned the notion of Manifest Destiny, a philosophy that American citizens were entitled to the land stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. This belief prompted many Americans to travel west of the Mississippi River and establish the beginnings of the western region of the 48 contiguous states of present-day US. Although the Lewis and Clark expedition brought about the downfall…
