its power and civilization across the breadth of North America. (p. 230)

Elias Howe Correct-The U.S. inventor of the sewing machine, which moved much of

clothing production from homes to factories. (p. 238)

communication over longer distances. (p. 238)

Panic of 1857 Correct-Financial crash which sharply lowered Midwest farmers prices and

caused unemployment in the Northern cities. The South was not affected as much because

cotton prices remained high. (p. 239)




Great American Desert Correct-In the 1850s and 1860s, the arid area between the

Mississippi River and the Pacific Coast, was known by this name. (p. 236)




mountain men Correct-The first non-native people to open the Far West. These fur

trappers and explorers included James Beckwourth, Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, and Jedediah

Smith. (p. 237)




Far West Correct-In the 1820s, the Rocky Mountains were known by this name. (p. 237)




overland trails Correct-The wagon train trails that led from Missouri or Iowa to the west

coast. They traveled only 15 miles per day and followed the river valleys through the Great

Plains. Months later, the wagon trains would finally reach the foothills of the Rockies or face

the hardships of the southwestern deserts. The final challenge was to reach the mountain

passes before the first heavy snows. Disease was even a greater threat than Indian attack. (p.
