Located in Northeastern Alaska, United States, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the areas used to protect and conserve America’s wildlife and plants. It is the largest Wildlife Refuge in the country at 19,286,722 acres. For more than over a decade there has been political debates about whether or not there should be drilling for oil on the coastal plains. Oil drilling cause’s damage to the wildlife there and cause for animals to become extinct. I think that there should not be any…

Homesteading in Montana became a way of life in 1862, several citizens from all around fled to Montana to claim land and began farming and ranching. Although this might sound easy there were many stipulations and processes in order to make homesteading possible. From families, wives, operations and much more led into the boom. “The ready available of free or inexpensive land and the new methods of dry farming made the Montana homestead boom possible” (Malone, Roeder and Lang 238). “Three…
