Answer:

The correct answer is D. The conquistador that discovered the Mississippi River was Hernando De Soto.

Explanation:

On May 8, 1541, troops from Hernando de Soto reached the Mississippi River. Therefore, de Soto is the first European to spot this river.

De Soto was very little interested in this discovery because it represented, for him, an obstacle to his mission. He and 400 men had to cross a wide and mighty river, which was constantly patrolled by hostile natives. After almost a month, and after the construction of several rafts, he finally crossed the Mississippi with his people and continued his journey westward through present-day Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The major difference between the way that the Spanish and the French treated "their" Indians was based on the respective economic and societal needs of the two European nations. The French used the Indians as economic partners, but did not really try to integrate them that much into a colonial society.

posledela

Answer:

A two-thirds vote or greater is needed in both the House and the Senate to override the President's veto. If two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote successfully to override the veto, the bill becomes a law. If the House and Senate do not override the veto, the bill "dies" and does not become a law.
