I feel like I could live out on the frontier in a soddie. The smell of the sod did not bother me and I could easily live in a house that smelt like that. Also for the house I set it up with on a wall the stove and beds, then a table in the center of the house. Then for the picture I could sit still for the minute that it took to take the picture. That type of living style did not seem that bad to me.

The friday before vacation we had a discussion on the push and pull factors for people moving out west. Then today we started the 16% project. It was kind of interesting to learn about a subject that I would not normally look at. I look forward to working more on that.  

The U.S did achieve manifest destiny. We have settled and created cities all the way to the west and even a little more. In those cities we have made businesses and an industry out west. The U.S set out to settle the west and the whole continent. That is what they achieved, they have settled the west coast, and began an industry over there.

The overall effect of the eire canal was good. It helped create jobs. It helped cities and towns grow. The eire had some bad effects, but these good advancements for businesses had a greater effect. The eire canal helped inventions to be create. Lastly, the eire canal helped for faster travel out west, and more tourism making it be cheaper and faster to travel.

I think the most important topic is Impressment. It is so important because it made us have to stop trading so our seamen would not be captured. Also impressment is apart of the chesapeake affair. So it started to become violent. Impressment was a true threat to people unlike Incitement which was only a possible threat. People where getting taken through impressment, but there was no current violence or kidnapping, or death in the incitement.
