Land Attracts SettlersWhy?
• Land was still a great measure of wealth
• Farmers still wanted their own
• Speculators gambled on price increases
• Railroad companies needed it to expand
• Pacific trade was becoming a reality, so we had to find western harbors to trade with China.

Natives Welcome and Resist• Native Americans helped many settlers - few tribes attacked.
Acted as guides and white men learned the routes
• As early as the 1820s and 1830s two major Trails West evolved:Oregon Trail – Northwest to Portland (Wilmette Valley)Santa Fe Trail – Southwest thru Santa Fe, NM
• Fort Laramie Treaty – agreement w/Natives about land use - Whites could travel thru, build forts but natives had
control of plains - Broke treaty often – started Indian Wars after 1851.

Mexico Attracts Americans
• Independent since 1821 – cannot defend all its land.
• Mexico sought trade opportunities with the US and offered land grants to ‘Empresarios’ – Stephen Austin.
• Believed it would help shield them from Natives and increase trade because more Americans lived there.
• Soon more Americans than Mexicans lived in Texas.

President Polk’s Mission
• Sectionalism (slavery vs. abolition) prevented Texas’ admission to the US as a state or territory
• President James K. Polk, a slaveholder won in 1844, favored western expansion and wanted Texas ASAP ...as well as the rest of the current US!
• December, 1845 Texas became the 28th state
• Mexico goes nuts!
