Before the Louisiana Purchase, Louisiana was a French territory, and Napoleon threatened to block American access to the port of New Orleans on the Mississippi River. This scared Americans, because the nation wanted to expand the exports of American products.

President Jefferson sent diplomats to France to bargain access to the River, instead, Napoleon offered the sell of Louisiana. France needed money because of the war against Britain and then, the US bought Louisiana for 15 million dollars.

The Purchase impacted the Western Expansion since it doubled the size of the US and added more 14 states to the Union. It permitted the US to have more land to plantations and increase commerce and trade.

The philosophy of “Manifest Destiny” also became popular with the belief that Americans were destined to expand their territory.

Which side will the Indians take and why
Alla [95]

Answer:

For many Indians, in particular, the Shawnee, Creeks and the very large and powerful Cherokee and Iroquois, the British seemed like a better bet. The British knew full well that the Indians wanted to stem the tide of settlement, and they promised the Indians that if they won, the settlers would be stopped.

Compare and contrast the middle colonies and southern colonies during the restoration era.
boyakko [2]

Both the Southern and Middle Colonies had fertile farmlands, but only the Middle Colonies was able to provide trading opportunities, thanks to their coastal lowland and bay-provided harbors. Southern Colonies highly contributed to the rise of cash crops such as rice, tobacco, and indigo. Slaves cultivate huge tracts of land and plantations owned by wealthy aristocrats and large landowners. On the other hand, Middle Colonies were more suitable for growing grain and livestock, with its environment ideal for small to large farms. More diverse workforce also exists in the Middle Colonies, consisting of farmers, fisherman, and merchants. Another notable contrast between the two colonies is that, for the people of the South, life developed as rough and rural while people of the Middle countries are deeply connected to the Church and village community.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1- McCulloch v. Maryland:  

-The Second Bank of the  United States was involved in the case.  

-The Supreme Court ruled  that a state could not  tax a federal institution

2- Gibbons v. Ogden:  

-The state of New York was involved in the case.  

-The Supreme Court ruled that a state could not regulate commercial activities between states.  

-A state-granted one company exclusive rights over the  Hudson river.

Explanation:

1- McCulloch v. Maryland was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1819, in which the state of Maryland was barred from levying a tax on federal banks operating in its territory. As a result, the principle of federalism triumphed over state rights, while the constitutional "Necessary and Proper Clause," which allows Congress to carry out certain actions not expressly stated in the Constitution but that appear to conform with those permitted activities, remained in effect.

2- Gibbons v. Ogden was a Supreme Court decision from 1824 that upheld the federal government's authority to control interstate trade. This is due to a dispute between New York and New Jersey, which was supposed to be settled by municipal courts but ended up breaching the Supreme Court's original authority and the states' right to equality.
