Why was the early West considered a "crossroads of culture?"

History

vredina [299]2 years ago

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.

What are some traumatic events in Scott Peterson's life?​
Akimi4 [234]
Jackie Peterson's father was killed just before Christmas. Thus,
for her, the holidays became a conflicted and an emotional
time.

2) Jackie and her siblings were pushed by their mother into an
orphanage, and Jackie was separated from her brothers for ten
years.

3) While it is not known whether or not Jackie suffered emotional,
sexual or physical abuse, documentation now proves that the place
where she lived all those lonely years was a "cesspool of
pedophilia."

4) We do know that soon after arriving at this place Jackie
developed debilitating asthma and was at the mercy of her keepers
--- not only for her day-to-day existence, but also for her very
breath since they had control of her medications.

5) Jackie left the orphanage to care for her ailing mother who soon
died, and again she was left alone. Did she have expectations of a
"family reunion" that turned into another loss?

6) In the next few years Jackie gave birth to two children with two
different men and gave up both for adoption.

7) Jackie kept her third child conceived with a third partner
because her doctor shamed her into it.

8) A few years later Jackie married Lee Peterson, a man who left
his wife and three children because he was not comfortable in the
company of his offspring.

Alika [10]

Answer: C-focused on mining and agriculture

Explanation:

As the early Americans adhered to the Manifest Destiny and expanded to the Western part of the Continent, they engaged in different activities from their Northwestern counterparts.

The territories that the Americans took over to the west had fertile land for agriculture as well as rich mineral deposits which led to minning. This often put them at loggerheads with the Native Americans and differentiated them from the North Eastern states which were more industrialized.
