Answer: CARPETBAGGERS

Explanation:

During the postwar period in the South, the positions in the government were almost exclusively divided between white Northern Republicans, those men were labeled by their opposition as "Carpetbaggers". In essence, they were northerners who supposedly hurried to the Southern states with all their carpetbags to seize the political spoils and improve their economic and political situation. Numerous other carpetbaggers were educators, social workers, or missionaries motivated by a sincere missionary impulse.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The acquiring of the territories gave the United States justification to send out immigrants into those territories and settle the land along the trails created by traders and trappers beforehand. These immigrants and other workers then set up the Transcontinental Railroad to facilitate trade and transport back and forth from the west coast to the east.

What was one consequence of the French and Indian war?
Ksivusya [100]

Hey there!

One reason people hate war is because it's extremely expensive. The British spent lots and lots of money on the war, so much that they eventually went into debt. After the war ended, they began to tax the colonies so that they could pay off their debt because they were in such a horrible financial situation! The French and Indian war really did lead to the American Revolution.

The best answer to put here as a direct consequence would be it put the British in a lot of debt.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
