Answer 2

The Oregon trail was laid between 1811 and 1840 by trappers and fur-traders and could only be accessed by horseback or on foot.

Explanation:

• The Oregon Trail, which was used in the mid-1800s by American settlers to emigrate to the west, was about 2000-mile trail from Independence in Missouri to the city of Oregon, Oregon.
• In 1850 the American pioneers would have not have perhaps settled or would have taken more time to settle in the Western America in the 19th century had the the Oregon Trail not discovered and it was the passage of the Oregon Donation Land Act, which facilitated settlement in Oregon Territory.
• By the 1840s, the Manifest Destiny (a commonly held popular illusion in the US of the 19th century that the settlers had to spread across North America) had Americans in the East eager to spread their horizons. From 1804 to 1806, traders, trappers, and merchants were also amongst the 1st people to create a path through the Continental Divide.
