Why people moved west.

The reason people moved westward was in search of new resources and new lands. Settlers also moved westward to expand the U.S and to increase the population. Some settlers moved west because most of the land was free and you could start a shop or tavern with very little if no competition. The Gold Rush of 1848 also drew many settlers in search of riches, it ended in 1849. Another reason people moved westward was because they thought that they would have to achieve Manifest Destiny. I believe people moved westward because they were in search of a better life.

 * 1) Why was the presidential election of 1824 finally decided by the House of Representatives?
 * 1) Which candidate do you think should have been elected president by the House in 1825? Why?
 * 1) What is the purpose of the Electoral College? Do you think the president and vice president should be chosen entirely by popular instead of electoral votes? Why or why not?

1. The election of 1824 was decided by the House of Represenatives because no president had the popular vote.

2. I believe Andrew Jackson should have officially won it because he was more of the people's man and wanted to help the U.S. in the time of crisis.

3.The reason for the Electoral College was to create a sort of boundary between population and selectiopn of president and as a structure that gave the states a little extra power. I believe the president and VP should be chosen by popular votes because if they were chosen entirely by electoral votes some states would have more, which would be unfair to other states with fewer or less than the larger states.
