Answer:

C. Brooks resigned from office but was promptly re-elected.

Explanation:

Congressman Preston Brooks was a staunch supporter of the slavery system who was notorious for his "canning" of Republican Senator Charles Sumner. This event brought about a huge outbreak of the 'racial' issue that has been brewing between the North and the South.

Senator Sumner made a speech title "The Crime Against Kansas" which was sort of a personal tirade against Senator Andrew Butler, a distant cousin of Senator Brooks. In an attempt of defending the honor of his relative, Brooks went to Sumner's office and began to attack Sumner with a gold-tipped cane. But even though it was an inappropriate behavior for the Senator, he was given a mere fine of $300. And even though he resigned from his office, he was immediately re-elected and restored, for he was hailed a hero in the Southern states.

Answer:

Option: D. wanted to become wealthier too.

Explanation:

As Spain started to claim many parts of the new world and establish colonies, many other countries like Portugal, England, France and Dutch wanted to become wealthy too. Spain was generating wealth through mines of gold and silver in Bolivia, Mexico, and Peru. There was an increasing supply of gold and silver bullion that shipped to Spain, which made the country powerful and wealthy.

England in hope to find Bullion (gold and silver) send voyages and settlers in America to found colonies which would help England in generating the wealth. The desire to find gold became a mission for the English settlers but found mines of copper, iron, silver, lead, tin, coal, and other minerals which helped in building small industries in America.
