How much food could the Mormon pioneers take in their handcarts?
Generally the pioneers using handcards did not carry much or any food in their carts. Carts were meant for personal belongings, while food for the whole company was carried in a wagon and rationed out equally. Extra food brought or gathered along the trail by individual families would have been stored on carts, but there was very little space for it. The exact amount of space would depend on the number of people sharing the cart and how much stuff they decided to bring.
How did the colonists react to the stamp act of 1765?
The colonists reacted in many ways, violent and non-violent. Most times it would start out as a peaceful protest like holding signs and saying chants like "No Taxation without Representation". Then some of the Red Coats would come along to cause a fight and get people arrested. Also, the colonists would write letters to the British government stating why these duties (taxes) were not fair. They would ignore the tax to the point where they got arrested and fined. Other colonists would Tar and Feather the tax collectors when they came to their house. Tar and Feather means to: Take hot tar and drench the tax collector in it. Then, cover them in chicken feathers and carry them (put them in a wagon) around town for people to trash them. People would throw things at them and also beat them up, if the person lugging them around allowed it.

How did pioneers travel west on the Oregon and Mormon trails?
The most common form of transportation for pioneers among the Oregon and Mormon trails was by wagon. Usually wagons were pulled by a team of oxen although horses, mules, and cattle were sometimes used. Those looking for quick travel or who were traveling alone with few belongings might take just a horse, perhaps with an extra pack animal to carry supplies. The poorest pioneers travelled by foot (many without shoes!), some were able to get a wagon-owner to carry their supplies, and some had to carry their supplies alone. Many poor Mormon pioneers used what was called a 'handcart' - a shortened two-wheeled wagon which they had to pull or push themselves.
