How long was the sea journey from the east us to oregon compared to the oregon trail?

Traveling the Oregon Trail generally took about six months.
Traveling to Oregon by sea took twice as long, up to about a year.

The Oregon Trail began at Missouri River spots such as Kansas City, Missouri or Independence, Missouri.  The trail itself was about 2,000 miles long.  

There's no seaport in the central United States where the Oregon Trail began.  So taking a sea route from that area would have meant river travel out to the Gulf of Mexico and then all the way around South America and back up the coast to reach Oregon.  Similarly, anyone leaving from the East Coast by sea would have to travel all the way south around South America and back up again to the western coast of North America.

So, as arduous as the Oregon Trail was, it was a better route than the sea route.

Travel by sea took over a year. One had to travel all the way down past Cape Horn, the southern tip of South America. The overland route on the Oregon Trail only took about 6 months. Remember that the travel wasn't non-stop. Settlers often stopped and built cabins and raised crops to make more money for supplies to continue the journey.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The answers are:

letter B, domesticating animals and plants

letter D. learning to use fire

letter E. making tools

Explanation:

Long time ago, it was common for the early humans to travel from one place to another in a group. They did this in order to follow their food supply. In order to catch their food, they started making tools. Then, they discovered to use fire and so they started to eat food by cooking them first. It also kept them warm. So, this was how they adapted to their early environment.

However, they soon realized that <em>they could control their food supply by planting and raising animals.</em> So, this allowed them to<u> stay in one place. </u>This started the development of agriculture in the world.

Thus, this explains the answers.

What was pope urban II's main reason for calling the first crusade?
Kobotan [32]
When Alexius I Komnenoi implored the pope (Urban II) for help, he meant it to reconquer the lost Byzantine lands (and therefore return in to their de facto ruler, a.k.a., the Byzantines). Urban however, decided to merely use that as a façade in order to then invade the Muslims, and retake the holy land.

He also saw the wanted to unite Christianity as a whole (All the sects at the time, Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Paulicianism, Iconoclasts, etc. into a single conglomerate, fighting a common enemy.)
