Cattle towns, also known as “cow towns,” were midwestern frontier settlements that catered to the cattle industry. The economies of these communities were heavily dependent on the seasonal cattle drives from Texas, which brought the cowboys and the cattle that these towns relied upon.[1]<span> Cattle towns were found at the junctions of railroads and livestock trails. These towns were the destination of the cattle drives, the place where the cattle would be bought and shipped off to urban meatpackers, midwestern cattle feeders, or to ranchers on the central or northern plains.</span>[1]<span> Cattle towns were made famous by popular accounts of rowdy cowboys and outlaws who were kept under control by local lawmen, but those depictions were mostly exaggeration and myth.</span>

Select two items that were included in the terms of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (which ended the Mexican-American War).
likoan [24]

Answer: The United States paid Mexico $15 million dollars for land obtained as a result of the end of the war.

The United States gains territory in present-day California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.

Explanation:

  • Before the conflict began, the Americans offered the Mexicans a much higher figure, which they refused. As Mexico was defeated in the war in peace talks, they accepted value of about $ 18 million. The US government has also agreed to take on the Mexican government's debt to the people who lived in the US-owned territory.
  • These territories belonged to America at the end of the war. America allocated the figure mentioned above for these territories and paid the Mexican authorities. The agreement, therefore, gave America a complete area of today's Texas. And the natural boundary between the two countries on the Rio Grande River has also been determined.

How did the government fight terrorism on the home front?
valkas [14]

Answer:

The case was finally broken open in the summer of 2002. Confronted with evidence obtained through electronic surveillance and other means, the six admitted that they had gone to Afghanistan the previous year and pleaded guilty to training with a terrorist organization. The successful investigation demonstrated the value of sharing government intelligence with law enforcement officials. But even that information could not reveal why the six had gone halfway around the world.
