Answer:

It gave the United States control of the port of New Orleans for trade.

Explanation:

The Lousiana Purchase was important because New Orleans is located at the mouth of the Mississippi River that at that time was the main highway of trade and commerce for the US. When the French took over New Orleans from the Spanish they revoked the “right to deposit” that allowed the Americans to use the Port.

With the purchase, the US acquired approximately 827 thousand square miles of land for 15 million dollars. It doubled the size of the US, removed threats of French of blocking US trade, added agricultural power to the US.

________ was terminated in 1996

Korolek [52]

AFDC was terminated in 1996.

The Social Security Act (SSA), which established the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) federal aid program, which was run by the US Department of Health and Human Services from 1935 to 1997, gave money to children whose families had little or no income.

The program expanded from being a small component of social security to becoming a substantial welfare system run by the states with federal financing. It was criticized, meanwhile, for providing disincentives for women to enter the workforce and incentives for women to have children. The more stringent Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program took over from AFDC in July 1997.
