The immigrants traveled across the continent from 1840 to 1860.Some immigrants didn't want to go across the columbia river so they payed a toll to go on a road. As the animals got tired they took out stoves dressers and things that they didn't need. Thomas Jefferson was the president who convinced them. They forced the native americans out of there land and signed treaties and broke them.
