Thank you here's your shmoop douceur brought to you by

00:05

the wild west because the tame west just wouldn't be

00:09

half as interesting All right check out the excerpt It

00:12

appears that you're all right now for a question Which

00:17

of the following factors contributed most directly to the trend

00:19

described in the excerpt and hear your potential answers All

00:23

right increasing All right Well the trend that's being described

00:26

here is early americans heading west to claim new land

00:30

and where coonskin hats and stuff So we've just gotta

00:33

ask ourselves which option would have contributed to that thing

00:37

option is obviously wrong If there were lots of great

00:39

economic opportunities in the east why would anybody want to

00:43

pack their family into a drafty wagon and head off

00:46

into the dangerous wilderness Well they wouldn't Well maybe they

00:49

would if they were really into wreck coonskin caps but

00:52

other than that they wouldn't weakened cross out a choice

00:55

D isn't right either At this point in time immigration

00:58

was still a free for all and not regulated by

01:01

any particular piece of legislation As the influx of scots

01:05

irish immigrants proved option b could make sense if competition

01:09

With the spanish to conquer western territory had been dying

01:13

down It might have encouraged american settlers The thing is

01:16

though that competition with the spanish hadn't died down Toby

01:20

is a big fat lie The best answer here is

01:22

See settlers were encouraged to head into the wild west

01:26

by congress who enacted policies that made it easier for

01:29

new territories to become states That's nice and all But

01:32

maybe congress should have also funded a programme to keep

01:35

raccoons safe That's one friend we don't need to see 00:01:37.7 --> [endTime] oh
