The correct answer is - Americans moved west in the 1800's because people wanted to get a fresh start and wanted to be able to buy their own land, as well as to try new economic possibilities, such as farming and gold mining.

In the 1800's the situation in the west started to stabilize and be much more attractive for people to move in. The problems with the native American populations were almost totally put under control so the safety issue was mostly resolved. Also the government had policies to give free land or for very small amount of money as to attract people to move there and thus have the demographic basis for implementing their rule more efficiently. For lots of people, mostly the ones from the lower class, this was seen as a golden opportunity and they used it as quick as possible.

A student is using a map in which the features are distorted and the land size is more accurate near the equator.
finlep [7]

Answer:

Mercator projection

Explanation:

Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that  is our planet has always been a challenge.  The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.

There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too.  The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.
