Answer: Louisiana Purchase in 1803

Explanation: • American System of Henry Clay (1816) supported a high tariff to protect American industries and generate revenue for the federal government; continuation of the Bank of the United States; development of a system of internal improvements to tie the nation together, which would be financed by profits from the tariff, the bank, and the sale of western lands.

• Erie Canal: meant to connect East and West

- no improvements made to connect north and south

• Missouri Compromise/Compromise of 1820 (11 slave and 11 free states when Missouri asked to be admitted to the Union as a slave state) was authored by Henry Clay, "the Great Compromiser."

- Maine was admitted as a free state; Missouri, as a slave state; all future states north of 36 '30 with the exception of Missouri, would come into the Union as free states.

• Tariff of Abominations favored the north, but south was very upset

- This lead to Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions and southern states threatened to secede

- money from tariff could have been used to expand west

• Railroads begin to replace canals as the heart of the American transportation system (1830s and forward); most railroads ran east to west, helping to cement the North/West alliance.

• Gag rule was adopted (1836); this informal rule in Congress allowed slavery petitions to the House of Representatives to be automatically tabled, thus putting off divisive debates over the issue of slavery. The use of the gag rule lasted until 1844.

• New parties popping up everywhere against slavery in westward expansion (ex. Liberty Party)

• James K.Polk (Democrat) favored westward expansion.

- "54 40 or fight" (campaign slogan)

• Oregon Treaty (1846) resulted in the British-American boundary being set at the 49th parallel.

- South wanted more land for the expansion of slavery

• Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) confirmed the United States title to Texas and gave the United States the Mexican Cession, which included California; the United States agreed to pay $15 million for the land and assumed a $3,250,000 payment to United States citizens with claims against Mexico.

• Free soil party joined with Free Liberty party after treaty to oppose slavery in new areas

"Re-annexation of Texas and the Reoccupation of Oregon"

• Compromise of 1850 (Henry Clay, "Omnibus Bill"; Stephen Douglas supported Clay's proposed

- Cal. admitted as a free state

- New Mex and Utah pop sovereignty

- Tex. lost land that would have become free land

- stricter fugitive slave law

• Wilmot Proviso that said land from war with Mexico will be free

Thesis: As America started to gain more western land, new parties popped up that wanted to stop the expansion of slavery, while southerners were not in favor of treaties that made new land free because they wanted to get wealth, while south threatened to secede the nation because of their pro slavery views.

Answer:

B. Do a quick vehicle pre-check

Explanation:

Checking your vehicle everyday before driving will prevent you from having any incident which can eventually lead to a traffic accident. Scanning the vehicle includes checking on the conditions of brakes, tyres, mirrors, seatbelts, the horn, steering mechanism, and winshield wipers. Making this inspection a habit is the best way to avoid stressful and dangerous situations.

Estimates of early Native American hunter-gather societies indicated that a person could
kogti [31]

Other assumptions associated with this question are as follows:

  • One person can feed on 1 hen/day for a year
  • 1 hen must east 25 grasshoppers /day
  • the total mass of 1000 grasshoppers is 1kg
  • 600 grasshoppers are needed to feed 1 human per day

Grasshoppers is represented as Gh.

The total amount needed to feed the hen per year is:

  • 25 x 365= 9,125 Gh/Year
  • If expressed in Kg, then it would be 9,125/1000 which is
  • = 9.125Kg/annum.

So if the farmer chose to live on grasshoppers rather than on hens, the calculation is given as follows:

  • (90 kg/1 hour) x (24 hours/1 day) x (1 person/ 600 Gh)

The amount of Grasshoppers required is given as follows;

If the farmer can gather 90 Gh in one hour then,

  • The total amount of Gh per day is 90 x 24 = 2,160
  • the total amount of Gh available in a year is 2160 x 365 = 788,400 Gh/Year
  • If 600 grasshoppers are quired to feed the human per day, then we work backward
  • The total amount of Gh available in a day is 788,400/365. This is equal to 2160 Gh
  • The total amount of people this can feed is given as 2,160/600
  • Which is equal to 3.6 persons.

Since humans or people cannot be divided into fractions like a measure of sugar or a measure of liquid, the answer is best left to the most approximate digit with it 4 Persons.
