00:05

Brought to you by westward expansion Better known as what

00:09

happens to us during the holiday season Expanse of all

00:13

the food All right check out the excerpt It appears

00:15

university has been in america Well one of them and

00:18

extreme on something could be lying in there like france

00:23

All right here's our question One direct effect of the

00:27

trends described in the excerpt Wass what and hear your

00:31

potential and start looking for a direct effect the all

00:36

right So the correct answer will be something that was

00:38

directly caused by all these settlers heading west Well see

00:42

doesn't work because it's just not true dissolution describes when

00:46

something falls apart and fades away like that jump shot

00:50

from some bad basketball player Or like how we eventually

00:54

said bye bye bye to our obsession with nineties pop

00:57

music and hardly ever make references to it Oops we

01:00

did it again But everybody heading west is what actually

01:04

caused the distinctive backcountry cultures to exist in the first

01:08

place so we can cross out See what about option

grudge see michael phelps for details All right we'll answer

01:29

D is wrong too But that's a good thing Slavery

01:31

didn't expand into the northwest territories because it was never

01:34

01:36

01:39

in the cool fashions b is the way to go

01:42

on this one More and more settlers were heading west

01:45

which meant mohr headbutting with the american indians This was

01:49

mostly because white settlers felt entitled to and were aggressively

01:52

seizing native peoples lands Well something tells us the settlers

01:57

never watched pocahontas You know you think you own whatever

02:01

land you land on all the colors of the wind

02:04

and all that So basically america was founded on a

02:07

finders keepers losers weepers kind of policy It just conveniently

02:12
