Throughout our study of the westward expansion of the United States, we have gained a more complete understanding of the complexities surrounding this movement.

Students have come to appreciate the delicate relationship between the potential benefits to American settlers and the consequences impacting Native American groups. The video above helps to summarize many of the events that led to the formation of the current border of the United States.

AuthorMy name is Mr. Bliven and I have been teaching at Matsunaga for 13 years. I love teaching and view education as a lifelong journey. Although I already hold several graduate degrees from McDaniel College and Johns Hopkins, I was thrilled to have recently completed my graduate certificate in technology integration from the University of Florida. I plan to continue my graduate studies and I am looking forward to using the strategies that I learn with my students. Archives
