History

Answer:

The germans and the scots-irish were usually very poor, some of them arrived as indentured servants and only gained their liberty after a few years of unpaid work. They found it hard to establish themselves in the cities and in the coastal areas, where the land was either occupied or more expensive.

In the case of the scots-irish, the vast majority settled in the south and the best land was occupied by rich plantation owners. These new immigrants did not have the economic means to start their own plantations and buy slaves.

They decied to settled in the "backcountry", a region that corresponds roughly with the Appalachian mountains. The land there was cheap, but the risks were higher.

What conflict might arise between U.S. expansionists and Native American tribes in the west? (HELP ASAP!)
Triss [41]

Answer:

White settlers marched further westward towards the Pacific, inspired by the concept of Manifest Destiny, which believed that European Americans were divinely destined to occupy the whole North American continent. As they did so, they increasingly clashed with Native American Indians for land and natural resources, particularly when the discovery of gold in western regions triggered the Gold Rush. Prospective gold miners flocked to the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest, fighting – often violently – with the Native Americans they met.
