The Oregon trail was a trail Route of wagon trains transporting settlers from Independence, Missouri, to the Oregon Country in the 1840s to 1860s. Between those dates, from 300,000 to 400,000 travelers used the 2,000-mile overland route to reach Willamette Valley, Puget Sound, Utah, and California destinations.

The most important item for a successful life on the trail was the covered wagon. It had to be strong enough to resist the elements yet small and light enough for a team of animals or mules to pull day after day.

There were a lot of bad situations that could happen on the Oregon Trail. Some of these things might be robbers, dangerous storms, unfriendly Indians, horrible diseases (such as typhoid fever, measles and snake bites) and violent animals.

olga55 [171]

The Temperance Movement is a Reform Movement that dealt with the issue of mental illness.

Explanation:

The Temperance Movement was started as a Reform Movement for social cause. This movement aims in opposing the usage of alcoholic beverages. The people who led this movement explained the negative effects of alcohol on people.

Doctor Benjamin Rush published an article "An Inquiry Into the Effects of Ardent Spirits on the Human Mind and Body" in 1784. This article explains that the excessive consumption of alcohol is injurious to physical and psychological health. So the Temperance Movement was organized in U.S to limit the usage of alcoholic beverages.

The temperance movement not only helps in improving the physical health of the person, but also helps in improving the mental health.
