In the summer of 1846, in the midst of a Western-bound fever sweeping the United States, 89 people–including 31 members of the Donner and Reed families–set out in a wagon train from Springfield, Illinois. After arriving at Fort Bridger, Wyoming, the emigrants decided to avoid the usual route and try a new trail recently blazed by California promoter Lansford Hastings, the so-called “Hastings Cutoff.” After electing George Donner as their captain, the party departed Fort Bridger in mid-July. The shortcut was nothing of the sort: It set the Donner Party back nearly three weeks and cost them much-needed supplies. After suffering great hardships in the Wasatch Mountains, the Great Salt Lake Desert and along the Humboldt River, they finally reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains in early October. Despite the lateness of the season, the emigrants continued to press on, and on October 28 they camped at Truckee Lake, located in the high mountains 21 kilometers northwest of Lake Tahoe. Overnight, an early winter storm blanketed the ground with snow, blocking the mountain pass and trapping the Donner Party.

Well, the loss of the bison and growth of white settlement had drastically affected the lives of the Native Americans who were living in the West. In all the conflicts that resulted, the American Indians, despite occasional victories, seemed doomed to defeat by the greater numbers of settlers and the military force of the U.S. government.

So daily life in the west was really not all that great like how it is in modern times today. There was much more violence and crime in the west back then. Hope that helped!

How were the colonists estranged from King George III?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The colonists were grown further apart from King George III because of his treatment towards them.

Explanation:

most believe that the colonists immediately wanted to be independent from great Britain. But in fact, they simply wanted to be treated as the Englishmen that they were. They were being given all of these taxes, yet had no say in it, as the other Englishmen in great Britain did. As the king ignored this, that is when the popular idea emerged of becoming an independent nation.
