    Immigration and Westward Expansion

  • Business isnt doing so well

    My family and I own a shoe making business and it isnt doing so well. I am a business person and want to go to america to make more money because I'm not making enough. I'm taking my sister with me to meet my brother in america where he has his business which is going really well. I am also hoping to claim some of the land in the west to start harvesting my own crops.
  • Start Packing

    Its been a year since I considered going to America and today I am getting prepared to leave tomorrow. Today I am startinng to pack and finishing my plan on how long my trip will take. I am thinking of bringing money, some of my valuables, and clothes. I will bring my valuables and sell them for money. I am hoping to use some of the money I have now, to get on the boat and sail to america. After getting to america I will stay at a hotel for a while while my sister and I find my brother.
  • The big day

    Finally today I am leaving to america. My Mother and Father are going to stay here and take care of their business here and once we have a stable business in america they will travel there to help out. I am pakcing the last of the things I am going to wait at the doc for the boat.
  • On the boat

    I am now on the boat. There are all types of people from other places on this boat. I have talked to many of them about where to stay once I got off this boat. I met a person who is gong to show me a good place to stay for a couple of days.
  • Staying for a While

    I am now staying at a place and I am planning to stay here for 3-5 days. while i am here i am going to look for a temporary job, so that I dont spend all my the money I brought. My sister too is getting a job we dont make as much as we expected but it is better than nothing.
  • My brother's business

    My sister and I have final arrived at my brother's place and are talking about hiring more people to expand our business
  • Expanding our business

    Business has been good, just as i expected, but to expand it we will need to go westward and claim some of the land, for the business as well as the crops we are planning to harvest
