Why did so few people settle west of the Mississippi River between 1700 and 1800? A. Land west of the Mississippi River was not
good for farming. B. The United States government promised that land to the Native Americans. C. The Land Ordinance of 1785 forbid settlers to move west of the Mississippi River. D. The Mississippi River was very difficult to cross.
The answer for that would be "A, Land west of the Mississippi River was not good for farming" because according to answers.com, it says " People moved to the west because in the east there was no room for farming, economic depression, and there was no space for agriculture." So in this case, it is "A". Hope this answered what you needed. Ask me more questions and I will be sure to answer them. :)
Peasants were now able to demand higher wages and better working conditions as landlords were not able to replace them with as much ease as previously. As a result peasants would be able to afford better living conditions'. After the plagues land and corn were plentiful, rents and restrictions reduced and standards of living improved.
