To review what we've learned the last couple of weeks, you will play a review game called "Airplane" (see below). There are 10 questions. Fly the plane to you AVOID wrong answers and fly INTO the correct ones.
At the end, you will need to click LEADERBOARD and write your first AND last name so that I can see you've played it. There will be a leaderboard that combines all classes that will continue to add new players all day.

WHO IS THE FASTEST PILOT?
*With the Louisiana Territory now belonging to America, vast amounts of unexplored land now belonged to the young nation.
*Spain still owned much of the land to the South of the Louisiana Territory. They were not happy when France sold it to us.
*As more people continued to move into America, there was a feeling that we needed to spread out into the new areas.
*However, living to the West of the Mississippi River were hundreds of thousands of Native Americans.
*A belief started to take root by many that it was our "manifest destiny", our obvious fate, to conquer the land west all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
*In our journey to fulfilling this goal, we fought wars with Native Americans, fought with other nations, explored dangerous new areas, and continued a relentless push into the West.
*The main question to this unit: did the benefits of this expansion outweigh the costs of taking it?
