Answer:

Cherokee leader John Ross sent a a letter to Abraham Lincoln in 1862. In this document, Ross stated that the growing pressure over his people forced them to support the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Also, he claimed for the Union to ratify the existing treaties in order to maintain the inegrity and  welfare of the Cherokee Nation. Ross however, stated that his people supported the Union cause.

A second source of the letter is the analysis that you can find in the book "The Cherokee Diaspora" by Gregory Smithers which provides new elements over the motivation of Ross when wrote the letter and also the deep division within the Cherokees.

By reading the book, the readers can find the motivations why Ross and a part of the Cherokee nation were reluctant to side one of the factions during the Civil War. Also, readers can understand what happened aftermath and the consequences still remained until 21st century.

Why were the border states important to the North during the Civil War?         A. They threatened to form their own country.

<span> B. They were slave states that could have joined the Confederacy.  

If the border states had joined the Confederacy, it would have greatly bolstered the population as well as the army of the South. However, if the US was more lenient on the border states and allowed slavery there to a certain degree, the Border states would provide a 'buffer' zone to help protect the North from most attacks, as well as provide men for the army and factories for producing much needed supplies.

Which of the following was NOT an indicator of prosperity in the 1920s?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Inflation rose to 10%

Explanation:

The Roaring Twenties was a period of economic boom and prosperity in the United States of America and Europe. This was just after the World War I that ended in 1918.

An indicator of prosperity in the 1920s includes the following;

I. Unemployment was 3.7: an unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The lower the rate of unemployment, the higher the employed rate and vice-versa.

II. Wages was up: this simply means that the minimum amount of money (wages) received by the employees increased.

III. GDP rose: Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.

Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.

However, an inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.

This ultimately implies that, inflation can never be an indication of prosperity in any country's economy.
