Correct answer:

c) Gadsden Purchase

The territory in dispute included the Mesilla valley. Bordering the Rio Grande, the valley consisted of flat desert terrain measuring approximately 50 miles, from north to south, for 200 miles, from east to west. This valley was essential for the construction of a transcontinental railroad using a southern route. The region purchased between the United States government and Mexico is known as Gadsden Purchase.

Hat was a major difference between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Rhode Island?

bonufazy [111]

Rhode Island founder Roger Williams believed in religious toleration.

Roger Williams (1603-1683) firmly believed in freedom of conscience. He founded the Rhode Island colony after being banished from Massachusetts in 1636 because of his views. He advocated keeping church and state separate. Rhode Island became a safe place for various religious dissenters and minorities to find a place to exist peacefully -- Baptists, Quakers, Jews and other religious minorities. Years later, when colonial America became the United States of America and the US Constitution was being written, Roger Williams idea of maintaining a “wall of separation” between church and state influenced the framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Religion was not the law in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.The Puritans came to America so they could practice their religion as they pleased. However, they did not allow other settlers the same religious freedom. Settlers who did not follow the Puritan ways were not allowed to own land in the colony, and were often sent away. Anne Hutchinson--mentioned in one of the question choices--was a female preacher who was persecuted as a heretic in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

What was the name given to low-cost, multifamily dwellings in the cities in the late 1800s?

exis [7]

I think the name you are looking for is "tenement".

The name comes from tenancy: the flats in those dwellings were typically rented, not owned.

Tenements bring with them the association of being overcrowded and having sanitary problems.

Tenements were an important aspect of life in New York in the 19th century.<span />
