Rob and Chris learn about the development of the West. The gold rush out in California has run dry so everyone scatters throughout the Midwest in search of the next best thing. The new immigrants that most Americans despised so much build the first transcontinental railroad, connecting the East and the West. Despite theirs tears, we once again force the Native Americans to move and eat our rancid meat products. The Plains survive a grasshopper plague only to be hit by severe droughts and then getting snowed in for most of the winter. Farmers are sick and tired of being poor, but sadly they have no other skills.
TLDR: The Midwest becomes America's best/worst place to live.
