    The overwhelming firepower, tactics, and maneuverability from the Field Artillery in the Battle of Palo Alto led to the defeat of the Mexican Army. Maj. Samuel Ringgold developed a carriage mounted 18 pounder siege cannon that was far superior to the Mexican Army’s heavy non-mobile guns (Sanchez, 2017). The Americans also used the 1841 6 pounders which weighed only 650 pounds and was extraordinarily easy to maneuver with oxen and horses ("Steel Cannons," n.d.). The 6 Pounder was also capable of firing three rounds a minute at 1500 feet per second with a maximum effective range of 1000 yards ("Military Factory," 2017). Nevertheless, these weapons were far superior to any of the small arms of time. Many of the small arms used took far too…

    He had two expeditions into the unknown West. His first was to explore to the North of the Mississippi River and to find its head waters. It was a fairly simple mission to explore a part of the land that the Lewis and Clark expedition would have missed. On his travels he met with various tribes and groups. Each one he meet with he promoted peace with. For example the Lakota Indians, from which he bought 1,000 acres of land. For many years the U.S. had friendly relations with this group. When he returned his expedition was considered a success. He was then commissioned to another expedition this one to the Southwest. This expedition had many purposes, but one of the more important tasks was to escort a group of Osage Indians that were prisoners of war.…
