Independence For Texas
I learned about the Battle of the Alamo. I think it was important because it's always important to learn about people who fought until the end for their country.

The United States Grows Larger
I learned about the Manifest Destiny and Mexican-American War. I think it's important because people were killing each
other just because they wanted more land, and I think that's not right.

On To Oregon and California
I learned about the Gold Rush. I think it's important because a lot of people were migrating to California, and that the gold was found near Sacramento.

The Southern States Leave
I learned about the Underground Railroad, and Harriet Tubman who was helping slaves to escape. I think it's always interesting to learn about people who struggled and risked their lives to save other people.

The Civil War
I learned about the Civil War, the North wanted to end the slavery but South wanted to continue it. It was interesting because I think that wars are important and we need to learn about them. Millions of people died to help to end the slavery.
