Because they would allow southern states to keep "their" slaves
<em>The Qin Dynasty was one of the most important dynasties in China because it resulted in the unification the Chinese territories into one kingdom. </em>Led by Qin Shi Huang, it was the shortest dynasty of China and lasted 15 years.
<em>Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of China</em>, he started to built the Great Wall of China as part of the unification project, he standardized writing and the system of currency among many other achievements, but after three attempts of assassination, Qin Shi Huang became obsessed with immortality and he died after taking an "elixir" (poison) of immortality.
<u>Because Qin Shi Huang didn't like to talk about dead, he didn't left a will and his minister Li Si and Zhao Gao murdered his elder son Fusu,</u> because of his friendship with a general whom they disliked. Afterwards, his second son Hu Hai became the next emperor, although he was not prepared for this position.
People in China were angry because of the tyranny and violence of Qin Shi Huang, so when he died China revolted and the dynasty under Hu Hai collapsed.
hummm. ok.
So this is talking about the Louisiana purchase I'm guessing.
From what I can understand this is saying the laws back then didn't have a say on weather or not the president can purchase large amounts of land.
The Indians were forced to change their customs to suit the normal civilian.
Answer: Well this passage doesn't say much about the early life of the U.S. so I will go from my own. When the Louisiana purchased began the president sent out twenty or so explores two called Lewis and Clark to explore the land.
The president then said if you want to move west the land is cheap (I think like $1.25 an acre) so emigrants moved west and well as the citizen's. Most people walked along the Oregon Trail. The majority of people walked barefoot and without wagons. Some had wagons but used it to carry their stuff and could ride on them. So the 2170 mile trail began with mountains and rivers to cross. Most people died and it was rare to make it to the other side. With the new settlements in the West people found gold. Everyone went rushing to California to hopefully be rich. Most couldn't find enough to support themselves and few made profit.
During this time emigrants also came because of the potato famine and left their home town. They made little income and had a hard life.
<em><u>If this answer is completely off track (Which I think it is) tell me so I can change it.</u></em>
The verb tense is past progressive because verb+ing is = to progressive tense and since its was making it makes it past so the answer is past progressive
