THE WEST

THIS MARKING PERIOD IN MRS. GARBER CLASS WE DISCUSSED WAS ABOUT THE WEST. IN THE WEST THERE WAS FARMING, RANCHING, AND MINING. DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS UNPREDICTABILITY OF RAINFALL OF THE PLAIN? IT HAD LARER FARMS THAN MANY OTHERS. THEY ALSO HAD MORE EFFICIENT PLOWS, GAIN SPREADERS, STEAM POWERED THRESHERS, AND COMHUSKERS AND COMBINDERS.

NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF ARGRICULTURE WAS ABOUT CROP ROTATION, HYBRIDIZATION AND PRESERVATION OF WATER AND THE TOPSOIL. IN THE WEST THERE WERE ALSO FARMS CALLED BONANZA FARMS. THOSE FARMS WERE VERY HUGE THAT WAS RAN BY BIG BUSINESS AND THEY ARE ALSO OPERARED BY PROFESSIONAL MANGERS. THE FARMERS ARE SPECIALIZE IN CASH CROPS . THAT WAS AMAZING BECAUSE IN THE WEST MANY PEOPLE WERE TO THEIR SELF. IT WAS ONLY ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS AND CROPS.

IN THE WEST THEY HAD IMPACT OF MACHINERY THAT WAS DEBT AND SPECIALIZATION.

NOW TO RANCHING AND MINING WAS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE WEST. IN 1849 THE CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH WAS STARTED AND THE REALITIES OF MINING IN THE WEST. THERE WAS PIKE PEAK'S, AND COMSTOCK LODE. THERE MULTIETHNIC MINING COMMUNITIES WERE FULL OF ALL COLORS. FOR EXAMPLE, BLACKS, ASIANS, AND WOMEN. THEYV HAD LARGE ROLES OF CORPORATIONS.

CATTLE RANCHING HAD ANIMALS AND OTHER TYPE OF THINGS. THERE WAS DESTRUCTION OF BUFFALO AND REMOVAL OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS. THEY ALSO INDUSTRALIZE THEIR RANCHING AREAS BECAUSE OF LONG DRIVES, RAILROADS, AND BARBED WIRE. THE RAILROADS AND LONG DRIVES WERE FOR THE TRANSPORTION. THEY ALSO USED THE BIG HORSES. UP UNTIL THIS DAY YOU WILL SEE STATE TROOPERS ON THE BIG HORSES BUT ONLY WHEN ITS NICE OUTSIDE. BUT THE BARBED WIRE IS TO PROTECT THEIR CROPS, CATTLES, AND TO KEEP THE THEIVES OUT.

BUT PEOPLE IN THE WEST DIDN'T RELLY STRUGGLE AT ALL. IF YOU ASK ME I THINK THEY DID GOOD . ALL THEY NEEDED WAS THEIR FARMS, RANCH, AND MINING. DO YOU PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME, LEAVE ME A COMMENT SO YOU CAN COMPARE MY OPINION WITH YOURS.
