Andrew Jackson
In my opinion, Andrew Jackson's message to Congress is not just about the removal of savages and their tribes. It's also about how great America is going to be in the future. Jackson's plan on getting rid if the Indians habits and becoming civilized Christian Community. An important detail in this passage is that the savages will not be homeless, but we will pay for their land and their needs. In the end America will be civilized and everyone will be equal and free. -

Trail of Tears
Nearly 125,000 Native Americans, but very few lived there. White settlers forced Indians out South Eastern U.S. so they can grow cotton on the savages land.

Another important detail, is the government promised the Indians that their new land would remain theirs forever, but the government stopped paying doesn't and it left them.on bad terms. -
Mormons
The Mormon religion was a new advanced religion, that the white settlers criticized the Mormons for. On July 27, 1844 Smith and his brother were murdered by an ant-Mormon mob in Carthage, Illinois. So therefore, the remaining Mormons traveled to Utah's Valley of the Great Salt Lake, soon after other Mormons had followed. Them the pioneers began practices for ten of thousands of Mormon immigrants who would follow them and settle there. -
Manifest Destiny
I think Manifest Destiny was about human equality, about our past and our future. Our future will be great again, America is destined to do better deeds. Equality to every individual, it states in the article that mankind will worship the Most High-- the Sacred and the True.With no doubts will America be a great, freedom, equality, and reliable country. In God's hands will this country be at it's best in the future. It will be governed by God's natural and moral law of equality. -

California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico became part of the U.S. continent. America had gained a lot of land from Mexico by winning a battle. -

The discovery of the Gold Rush in Sacramento Valley started in 1848. Gold Rush was the largest mass migration in American history. At first gold was found on ground but later on it would be found in streams and rivers. Best results were achieved with mining.
