Could someone please help me with these questions about Manifest Destiny I beg
notsponge [240]
Okay: 1: Manifest Destiny was the belief by many Americans that it was God’s Will that they spread the continent and teach their culture,religion, etc.
2: The impact of Manifest Destiny led to the US trying to expand west, this would lead to the Mexican-American War and Mexican Cession.
3: it was more of a good thing for the US, if they expanded west, they have both borders, they have more resources, and they would have more land for slavery to spread.
4: I guess that’s your opinion
5: 2 pros: Allows the US to secure their borders, Allows the US to gain more territory and gain the resources, Cons: It led to many Native Americans being killed and their land being took, it further led to sectionalism in the US. It’s impacts would eventually lead to a war between Mexico and the US, it also further divides the US because Polk, wanted the land for slavery to spread however many US people did not want that to happen.

Give three reforms that took place during the United States’ Republic and why these were important?
Reil [10]

Answer:

 These reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights, and temperance (opposition to alcohol). 

Explanation:

  • The abolition of slavery was one of the most powerful reform movements. Quakers and many churches in New England saw slavery as an evil that must be abolished from society. They targeted slave owners who profited off of enslaved people's labor. Harriot Tubman, who helped people escape, and Frederick Douglass, a self-educated and forceful orator and writer, proved be powerful speakers. Abolitionists came to the defense of African Americans accused of running from their masters when law officials threatened to return them. Abolitionism was anathema to Southerners and not popular in many areas of the North, but they moved slavery to a central focus in American political life.

  • Alcohol ruined families and bred crime, especially in the growing urban centers of the East. Drinking was sinful, and it was the government's responsibility to remove this temptation, in the view of the temperance advocates. They ran candidates on the Prohibition Party in elections, who were rarely successful, and pressured elected officials to make the manufacture and sale of alcohol illegal

  • Other reforms attracted similar attention, though never to the degree of prohibition and abolition. Some groups advocated for better treatment of the insane and more humane prisons. Advocates for women's rights used tactics similar to the prohibition and abolition movements to demand the right to vote. In fact, many of the same people participated in several reform causes.
