The first decades of the nineteenth century saw the consolidation of the young nation after emerging victorious from the War of 1812 and its expansion  across the continent to the Pacific Coast. During this process of expansion, the U.S. government became involved in a series of wars against the native tribes for the possession of the lands claimed by the American European-descent settlers. A common practice of the government was the relocation of the tribes, defeated by the force of arms, to reservations located far away from the native tribes' homeland, as a way to handicap them in case of revolt.

Culturally, the popularity of British-like literature such as the tales of authors such as Longfellow gave way to an original U.S. literary genre: the modern detective story, created by Edgar Alan Poe. From this point, a trend for a more realistic and less stylized type of literature would lead to U.S. literary classics such as "Uncle Tom Cabin," "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," etc.

Economically, the Industrial Revolution took a firm hold in the Northern states, whereas the Southern states remained mostly agrarian and relying on slave labor as their main source of manpower. Beyond the simple difference between industrialized and agrarian, a great moral and political divide between citizens in the North and South over the humanity and legality of slavery gradually grew and led to a heated series of arguments for and against the abolition of slavery in Congress. Pro-slavery congressmen were usually outnumbered in Congress, which prompted them to a number of political maneuvers to defend the interests of the plantation owners in the South from the 1800s to the 1860s. This prolonged debate would gradually increase the political tensions between North and South and ultimately led to the Civil War.

Answer: It allowed Americans to trade goods at the Port of New Orleans.

The said benefit was part of what the United States and Spain had achieved by the said treaty of 1795. American traders are thus allowed to store their goods in New Orleans for free. Spain and the United States also agreed that each side within its borders should control the native tribes and prevent possible attacks on their traders.

In what way(s) did the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 hurt the U.S.S.R. and begin the decline of communism?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

For the Soviet Union, the intervention proved extraordinarily costly in a number of ways. While the Soviets never released official casualty figures for the war in Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence sources estimated that as many as 15,000 Russian troops died in Afghanistan, and the economic cost to the already struggling Soviet economy ran into billions of dollars. The intervention also strained relations between the Soviet Union and the United States nearly to the breaking point. President Jimmy Carter harshly criticized the Russian action, stalled talks on arms limitations, issued economic sanctions, and even ordered a boycott of the 1980 Olympics held in Moscow.
