The journey on the Oregon Trail was long and difficult.It took four to six months to travel the 2,000 mile trail from Independence,Missouri to Oregon.Pioneers faced many hardships along the way.Why were people willing to make this journey? A.They wanted to be as far away as possible from populated areas B.They thought they would have better opportunities in Oregon C.They thought they could become rich by finding gold there
D.They wanted to live in an area that was not part of the U.S.
Well, what do you think the answer is, and which answers do you know aren't correct? (This helps me get started on assisting you.)
A is absolutely out of the picture because they didn't care about population much back there. C is no as well because the place where they would have found gold was only in California and it gives it away. They're talking about the "Oregon Trail" so Not C. D is also out of the picture because they loved the U.S. so why would they want to do that?
Do you have your answer?
yes thanks
