When thinking about the abandonment of land, it is easy to assume that nature just was not on man’s side. It’s easy to blame the soil, the weather, and the wildlife. However, this was not the case when Leif Erikson came upon a land that was rich in resources.

“By 1940, 2.5 million had moved out of the plains states; of those, 200,000 moved to California”(Boundless). The Dust bowl had a huge impact on America that it even prompted John Steinbeck to write a book about it; The Grapes of Wrath. The book was written to reflect the time period and the struggles…

In the 1800s, white pioneers were moving west and looking for places to settle. Native Americans occupied the Great Plains, and the white people were about to take over. Starting around the 1860s, the United State’s government started forcing the native peoples to leave their homelands and either move into the designated areas called “reservations”, or in some cases be exiled to Mexico. The Native people did not like this forceful threat at all, particularly because in the reservations they…
