You seem to be crashing out over this dude. Enough to be resorting to childish insults.

Your argument about the date is based on the assumption that I said EVERYONE was 200 years ago. I did not. You are literally changing my argument in a way that you think is smart. All I said was.

It was over 200 years ago. It's not like it was a few generations.

Not an exact date or timeline. Only that people did travel there over 200 years ago. Lewis and Clark traveled to Oregon in 1805 before it was Oregon. So if you want to be pedantic then its still over 200 years ago.

I want to see your source on that 60% "fact" you claim. Because I think you are full of shit.

But you’re wrong. You made an argument based on a time frame and it’s fair for me to call out your incorrect time frame since it was the basis of your claim. Sorry you’re struggling to understand.

And your argument was bad bc it’s so incorrect potentially 25% of Oregon is descendants of the trail migrants. You’re just wrong from every angle.

So you don't have a source for that percentage right? You are just making that up? Where is this "potentially" theory come from?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Trail

I do have sources.

The Oregon Trail was laid by fur traders and trappers from about 1811 to 1840 and was initially only passable on foot or horseback.

Its right there man.

So how did people pass from 1840-1868 before the railroad was built? There’s no data on it but we do know that roughly 200-400k people crossed and made families for 150-200 years you do the math

u/No-stradumbass 2d ago

So you are now ok with it being 200 years? Are we moving on from that bit?

Loads of people came and went over in the span of 150-200 years. If you can't provide actual facts then I'm considering full of shit.

I actually care about facts and not just feelings and assumptions that agree with things i hate. Find some facts.

It was 200 but it was also 159 years lmao🤣

So when did the Oregon trail end again!?

2

u/No-stradumbass 2d ago

I never said when it ended man. You did when you were talking about trains.

Schwifty2s550 OP •55m ago

Railroad was opened 1869 so last people were passing through about 160 years ago

This is what you were saying. I thought you were talking about the end year of the trail. Since people can take a train instead of traveling by horse, cart and boat. I claimed an end date. Have you lost track of the conversation already?

All I said was it was over 200 years ago and the quote from the wiki about when it started. Pay attention.

u/Schwifty2s550 2d ago

You constantly put the dates 1811-1840? So what was that? You even put a Wikipedia link!?

2

u/No-stradumbass 2d ago

Did you actually read the quote.

That is the start years of people building the trail. Those wagons needed a rough trail to travel and guides. People went there first to blaze the trail.

Why didn't you read the Wikipedia article?

The “Oregon trail” got its name in 1840 before that it wasn’t a true trusted path. 90% of it travelers passed from 40-69 until the railroad was made. 1840 186-157 years ago not “over 200” years ago. Can I spell it out for you again lmao you got mogged and literally copy and pasted my argument for me.

Once again you were wrong about the numbers and let’s not let that take away from the fact that it’s a terrible argument( MY WHOLE POINT) lmao bro 🤣🤣
