A Mormon pioneer in Utah

Write a 700- to 1,050-word journal entry, either as a story or an explanation, that includes the following:

• A description of the social, economic, and political forces of the times
• A description of the acquisition of the territory where you live by the United States and a discussion of the effects of the acquisition on your life; for example, if you chose to be a Mormon pioneer, discuss the United States’ acquisition of the Utah territory and discuss its effect on people living in the territory at the time.
