The <em>William Becknell</em> party arrived in Santa Fe followed by the<em> General Thomas James / John McKnight </em>expedition, <em>only two weeks after. </em>
William Becknell escaped the financial depression Missouri was facing, he saw Santa Fe as a new opportunity to trade his goods. Becknell followed a new route in 1822 and became famous as the Santa Fe Trail.

"the americans supported the indian removal act because the colonies wanted their lands. they were tired of constantly crossing boundaries with the indians' hunting grounds and such. americans also considered indians to be savages. they constantly fought with each other. so the indian removal act forced indians to move west, this being known as the trail of tears. thousands of indians died on this journey."
La Follette voted for Wilson’s progressive measures but resisted U.S. involvement in World War I. He voted against the declaration of war in 1917. He voted against bills creating a military draft and authorizing the use of borrowed money to meet war costs. Senators attacked him for disloyalty, and he was in danger of receiving censure. But the war ended and Republicans needed his vote to control the Senate. As a result, the censure move died. After the war he opposed the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations. He felt the treaty would lead only to “an unjust peace which could only lead to future wars.”
