Expert Solution
Introduction
The Oregon Trail was initially a horse trail, established by trappers and traders during the 1st half of the 19th century. As immigration into America increased, the horse/foot path was converted into a wagon trail.
This trail literally took one across America from the east (the Missouri River basin) to the west (Oregon Valley). Hundreds of thousands of Americans took this trail westwards to fulfill what they believed was their manifest destiny of peopling the promised land.
