History

Answer:he mining industry was one of the industries that had great impact for the westward expansion in northamerica. Many people seeking wealth settled in western territories creating small mining towns. These towns were created when the existence of a gold deposit had already been proven but many times they were created only with the rumor that there could be gold there. They were prosperous towns at an economic level until the ore was depleted. Then they left the town. The timber industry began when settlers cut wood to build their settlements on American land. The westward expansion generated high demand for wood supply, which promoted the timber industry by strengthening the US economy. This industry grew by leaps and bounds and already in 1970, 41% of the timber in the United States came from the Pacific Northwest. During the era of the construction of the transcontinental railroad there was a dramatic expansion in agriculture. The number of farms tripled and the number of people living on farms increased to 31 million in 1905. Industrial agriculture favored the westward expansion since with the introduction of agricultural machinery farmers managed to increase crop yields with less labor. Farmers organized into local and regional cooperatives to promote their interests.

Hope this helps :)

5. CONTRASTING How were
schepotkina [342]

Both Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) and the National Association for the Advance of Colored People (NAACP) had equality between blacks and whites as their primary goal.

Their methods were different, though. Garvey believed in "equal but separated" and led a campaign for black people to return to Africa. He stood for the establishment of a black nation on the west coast of Africa for African Americans.

The NAACP on its turn was created to fight for equality and for democratic inclusion of African Americans. NAACP fights through the judicial system, peaceful protests, and lobbying. It didn't share Garvey's defense of separatism and it was an important factor in the fight against segregation.
