What was the setting? Where was the setting? The setting was in the forest in the first part of the film. The second setting was how they had the pony express, which was to deliver the mail faster. They also made the telegram but the Indians intercepted their conversations. They also built the express railroad to bring people across the country.2. What important event took place there? Who or what was part of the event? The most important event was the westward expansion and also the First World War. Zeb, the little boy of the Prescott family, was now about 28 or 30 years old and was at war. It was very hard, for everyone. Lily Prescott was also a veteran dancer. Luis and Clark's expedition went great, they were the first Americans in 1800 to arrive in the Pacific Ocean by boat.3. How did the setting develop over time? We went from forest to westward expansion. The Americans wanted to make peace with the Indians, but ended up killing some Americans by running bulls through their town. They had… half the paper… killed (badly), including the battle where the Americans died. The cost was the number of wars the Indians lost. 4. What were the benefits of westward expansion? The Indians conquered territories in the west, that's why it's called "westward expansion." When we found the territory we found gold and we expanded the territory. We have also started transportation, such as train.5. What impact did westward expansion have on the modern United States? It caused wars for control of territories, with Native Americans and Mexicans. There was also debate as to whether or not the new territories should have slavery. The Louisiana Purchase also influenced westward expansion, giving us strong economic power. The settlers wanted to travel the westward expansion in small groups. The territory was very important to the United States as it had access to the Mississippi River, a seaport for New Orleans.
