Pros and cons of going west
pro
good farming
when its dry where you lived and you could not farm because you did not get a lot of water wouldn't you want to move to Oregon for good soil and farmland? or not farm and let your family starve?
once i tried to plant some strawberries in some dirt that was right in the sun.But my mom said i couldn't because it needed to be by the hose so it could get water.But....the strawberry plant still died because ii planted it were i was not supposed to
pro
Traveling together
instead of traveling on on the Oregon trail alone they traveled together so they would not get lost
i did not travel with my mom in the grocery store.And ran off and my mom could not find me for a long time.
con
animals died of starvation.
its hard to imagine a dead animal in front of you right? well on the Oregon trail it was not anything new to the pioneers.Because most oxen died of walking to long,drinking dirty water and drowning.
i personally have never seen a dead oxen but i've seen a dead dog.it was creepy i miss him tho.He was frozen! and dead at the same time
con
Crossing mountains
The sad thing on the Oregon trail was the wagons were not made to cross big steep mountains but did
i personally do not like going up hills or down hills it scares me.But going up mountains looks scarier.I can't believe pioneers had to go up big mountains.
con
a lot of people died on the Oregon trail about 500,000 or more people died on the Oregon trail
how many people died
i would not want to die.And i never want to see dead bodies so.I don't exactly if 500,000 body's died but according to the internet it was 500,000.
pro
free land
Would you go to Oregon for free land like the pioneers did? why or why not
i wanted my sisters big bedroom.Kind of like wanting free land but not.But of cource i got her bedroom
