Introduction
This project is going to be a project that we can cooperate and learn about the western expansion together. We
are also going to be using our creativity in displaying the information in a song. We are all excited that we can
work together with each other. In this project we can use all of our ideas and create an amazing project.
In this project we will be achieving to inform the audience about the western expansion and what it actually
means. Also we will be talking about the problems and issues that took place in the western expansion.
