Answer:

John Brown was a famous American abolitionist, who believed in armed insurrection as the only way to overthrow slavery in the United States. His efforts to end slave labor increased the tension between the North and the South during the period leading up to the American Civil War.

On October 16, 1859, supported by North abolitionists, Brown planned to create liberated zones in the hills of the western part of Virginia and with 20 of his followers raided and took the federal arsenal of Harpers Ferry (present West Virginia) and was made with control of the city. His group was surrounded by an Army company under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee. Ten Brown men, including two of his sons, died in the ensuing battle, and he was wounded and forced to surrender. He was arrested and charged with treason and murder, executed on December 2, 1859, in Charles Town, West Virginia (then Virginia), thus becoming a martyr for the abolitionist cause for people in the North, and an extremist for the southern people.

Which statement best explains how the Lewis and Clark expedition was a result of U.S. Foreign policy?

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The United States purchased land from France so it could expand the size of the nation

Explanation:

The statement that best explains how the Lewis and Clark expedition was a result of U.S. Foreign policy is that "the United States purchased land from France so it could expand the size of the nation"

This is evident in the fact that the Lewis and Clark Expedition that lasted between 1803 to 1806 was made after the Louisiana Purchase.

The purpose of the expedition is to establish a definite path through the newly acquired territory and develop an American presence in the territory before any other European powers attempt to claim the region.
