1-9 - THC - America The Story of Us - Westward Episodes 3&4

As the American nation is born, a vast continent lies to the west of the mountains, waiting to be explored and exploited. Yet this land is not empty--Native American Indians are spread across the land mass, as are Spanish colonists and French explorers. For the pioneers who set out to confront these lands, following trailblazers like Daniel Boone, the conquest of the West is a story of courage and hardship that forges the character of America. Armed with knowledge from hardened mountain men like Jedediah Smith, millions of Americans keep heading ever westward. Their journeys by wagon train are fraught with danger, across distances never imagined possible. But the allure of adventure, opportunity and economic gain is too strong. While some struggle to create new lives on the Frontier, others are rewarded with riches on a scale never seen before, as the world rushes in to mine California's gold. America now stretches from "sea to shining sea." And when American pioneers master the waters of the Mississippi basin with a radical invention, the steamboat, a new era opens.

@Sturmmann In today's society, discrimination is based on personal beliefs and money. You can go somewhere, yes.But you gotta work hard.

@Danny2134ful

if I was born latino I wouldve still tried to overcome my own racial limitations. Why? because we today live in a meritocracy where everyone can earn a position fairly without being discriminated against.

I was born a European, I overcame many short comings and I didnt become a drug dealer or gang banger in the process.

@Sturmmann That isn't very nice, how would you feel if you just happened to have been born Latino, no one had any say so as who they would be born as you should stop looking at race and start looking at individuals.

@stayeducated1The vast majority humans are animals who live off the land in mud houses with no knowledge of medicine, chemistry, geology, or even the knowledge that the world is round, only a small minority or humans fallout side these characteristics, and those are Europeans.
