Why should we remember these events?

We in Texas should appreciate the movement westward.

The American mentality had been one of independence and ingenuity since the Revolution.

Ideas of Liberty were combined with the pioneering spirit fostered during the years of westward expansion and helped shape our national identity.

The new states that were added in the years from 1800-1900 as the west explored would help the nation survive and would finally set borders of the USA.

It was important to our history to make sure the indians were taught a lesson and men were able to make lots of money.
