Answer:

This poem compares with the history of immigration because it shows how open the US was. It contrasts becuase the poor didn't always get what they needed.

Explanation:

(This is more in depth)

The poem compares because the US would take everyone in, as long as they were healthy. The US had a lot it could offer immigrants, as well. Usually, however, immigrants were faced with hardships, were discriminated against, and didn't get the help they needed.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

B. the Market Revolution and the Southern expansion of slavery on cotton plantations.

Explanation:

It was a severe clash of interests between John Quincy Jones who was the President of the United States at the time and John C Calhoun who was his vice-president.

John Calhoun was from South Carolina and represented the interests of the Southerners who had huge cotton plantations with slaves working on them. Cotton was the raw material which the Southerners exported to Britain.

The President, John Quincy Adams in an effort to protect the burgeoning manufacturing industries which were predominantly in North America introduced taxes and tariffs on imported goods in a bid to encourage local manufacturing.

The tariffs didn't go down well with the Southerners as they felt that it would dampen the Southern economy.

Led by vice president Calhoun, they kicked against the tariff hike and introduced the 'Theory of Nullification' in an attempt to fight and scuttle the tariff hike.

The Theory of Nullification is a reference to the part of the American constitution which said that member states could rebel and reject federal laws which were not favorable to them.

This led to the Market Revolution and the expansion of slavery on the cotton plantations
