We will also learn how the increase of technology helped speed up the settling of the West. We will also study about Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglass, Harriet Tubman, the Emancipation Proclamation, Frederick Douglass, Theodore Roosevelt, and many other people, events, and ideas that helped shape the United States of America.
