Think about that expression -- crossroads of culture. The early West was something of a plethora of human beings, with people of all breeds and flavors a) travelling, such as the Mormon (Latter-day Saint) pioneers, b) going for gold (Gold Rush), c) running a business, etc. Another factor to consider is that the pioneers (the Mormons) had their numbers bolstered by people from England, Ireland, Scotland, throughout the US and other places, in consequence of missionary efforts by the Latter-Day Saint Church, and in response to the call of their prophet to "gather to Zion." With that amalgamation of people it's not hard to see why, at least in the early settlements, it's called a "crossroads of culture," due to the hundreds of types of variety present. Of course, other immigrants and families moved to the west other than the Mormons. I don't mean to imply the Mormons were alone in their endeavor.

AlekseyPX

It is true that for the first 50 years after the ratification of the Constitution, Representatives and Senators usually only served for short periods of time because of difficulty in travelling and accommodations.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the constitution was ratified, for a long period of around fifty years, the officials of the government which were the senators and the representatives used to serve the period only for a very short period of time.

The reason for this is that the travelling during that time from one place to another was very tough. Moreover the condition of the capital of the United States of America was very bad and the representatives chose to return to their local offices.
