How old was America when the Oregon trail took place?
The Oregon trail got its start in 1823, so America would have been 47 years as a country from Europe from the Revolution. However, the 'generation of the Oregon Trail' is accepted between 1841-1866, which places America at 65-90 years free. Hope this helps.

How did the Mormon trail change the American west?
The Mormon Trail didn't change the American West, because the Mormon Trail was next to the Oregon Trail. Another answer: The Mormon Trail followed the Oregon Trail until it hit Fort Bridger, Wyoming. There the Mormon Trail split off down toward where Salt Lake City, Utah is today. The largest change the Mormon Trail did to change the American West is bring a large influx of people into the American West. People who were willing to try to settle the desert areas in Utah and Idaho that no one else wanted to touch. It also helped solidify a trail that lead was a main stopping point for people headed to Oregon or California. People traveling on either the Oregon or California Trails would go to Salt Lake City and resupply before continuing their journey west, usually rejoining the trails around the southern central part of Idaho right near the Idaho-Utah border.

Who traveled the Oregon trail?
Many people traveled on the Oregon trail. Elder people 50 or under most likely would not travel on the Oregon trail because of the danger or other things they can encounter. many young people the ages of 40 or younger or maybe a little bit older would travel on it.about 3,000 migrants looking for a new life, gold, and money traveled this trail during the 1840's -1870's.The Oregon Trail was a common and shared route that forwarded the Western migration to California, Oregon Territory and Utah. Parts of the same trail system are called the Mormon Trail. Some guides chose different passes and sidetracks knowing where better pastures, timbers and game could be found. Some simply headed west with disasterous consequences. Almost 300,000 people traversed all or some small part of this grand adventure, with 53,000 going into Oregon, pver 200,000 reaching California and 43,000 stopping short in Utah. An estimated 100,000 that began the trek became turnarounds after being abandonded by their cash in advance guides. A few abandoned all and straggled back to Ohio and Pennsylvania. Some and they were a very rare breed began farming, produce and trade points along the route to help and to profit from this western migration. It was a very tough journey and some failed to find the golden dream after having seen the Elephant.Few historical authors have captured the western migration and the history of the West as well as did James Michner in his epic novel Centennial. It portrays the hopes, dreams and aspirations of this brave force of migrants as well as failed hopes, trials and tribulations and dreams of the future.The first post should be left unchanged because it represents the genuine aspirations of wealth versus the dream of betterment for a future for your family. Many who traversed the Oregon Trail spilled their blood as a right of passage (often by the accidental discharge of their own firearms) and rarely at the hands of Native Americans in defense of their homeland. Passage was readily granted but stopping squatting or leaving the accepted route of the Oregon Trail was fobidden by the Native American residents.Who followed the Oregon Trail is a complex question but in truth they were the:DreamersExilesGrifters, Drifters and Con ArtistsVagrants, bums the unemployed and the newcomers.Wealthy investors, entrepruners and visionaries but most of all they wereDreamers.
