Answer:

They gave migrants land for moving west, to encourage migration and spreading out.

Explanation:

"Signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862, the Homestead Act encouraged Western migration by providing settlers 160 acres of public land. In exchange, homesteaders paid a small filing fee and were required to complete five years of continuous residence before receiving ownership of the land."

Hope this helps!!

What does republic mean
NikAS [45]

Republic is a form or model of political organization that originated in ancient Rome, in the 6th century BC, after the overthrow of the last Etruscan king, Tarquinio, who had influence over the region of Lazio, on the Italic Peninsula, where Rome is located. The end of the monarchy in Rome was caused by a political coup by the patrician aristocracy of the city.

It is from the structure of the Roman Republic that the main modern political institutions, such as Parliament, derived from members representing the population, were derived. Parliament, today, makes up the political structure of both presidential regimes (in which the president is the head of government and the head of state at the same time), like the American, and of monarchist regimes, such as the Kingdom United and Japan (in which the head of state is the monarch, and the head of government is the prime minister). There is also the variant of the mixed model, presidential parliamentarism, in which the president is the head of state, and the prime minister, the head of government.

In ancient Rome, the senate and assemblies constituted this “parliamentary body”. From the senators came the authority over the magistrates, who had administrative functions according to their rank and jurisdiction, similarly to what happens today with the members of the republican executive branch. Among the positions of the judiciary in the Roman Republic were consuls (the highest rank), praetors, censors, quaestors, edis and, on specific occasions, such as wartime, the dictator.

What was President nixon’s attitude toward the U.S. involvement in Vietnam?
Len [333]
Upon taking office, Nixon was obsessed with the idea of winning the Vietnam War. Despite the national protests against increased US involvement in Vietnam, Nixon said that a majority of Americans supported his actions. This term becomes known as the silent majority.

In the beginning, Nixon orders several different means of attacks. This includes the use of Agent Orange, a highly dangerous chemical meant to destroy the Vietcong supplies, and the Christmas Day Bombings in 1972. Despite his best efforts, the US was not going to have success in Vietnam.

This resulted in Nixon developing a new policy of Vietnamization. The goal of this policy was for the US to train the Southern Vietnamese army to handle the fighting on their own. This plan also called for the gradual withdrawal of thousands of American troops.

Which of the following definitions best describes an enclave?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

A. a separate part of a city dedicated largely to one group

Explanation:

The enclaves represent separate parts of the cities where one group is dominant. This often happens with the migrants, as very often they look to live next to compatriots so that they can communicate and have easier adaptation in the new place. Unfortunately, the enclaves make lot of problems, as the people living in them often don't even try to integrate, but keep their own culture, speak their own language, set their own rules, which results in divisions on ethnic or religious  basis.
