American West 2 Minute Revision Slides

10 slides of bullet pointed key content for different topics on the American West, each with an exam question at the end (Edexcel GCSE)

I used these at the start of lessons where we were still finishing another topic, just for students to look at as they came into the room then a 5 minute discussion on how to answer the exam question.

Covers Plains Indians tribal structure, early government policy towards Plains Indians, Oregon Trail, Mormons, Gold Rush 1849, Later US govt. policy towards the Plains Indians, Building the railroad, Homesteaders, lawlessness and cowboys.
