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!!

Write a two to three-paragraph response discussing whether you think the patent system is useful and beneficial Why do you think
Liula [17]

Answer:

The patent system is an important and good concept. With it, many people are prevented from getting stolen from or stealing others' ideas. While this can be very good, and promote further discovery and prevent theft. It is also quite controversial and comes with drawbacks.  

Drawbacks include the costs, time it takes, and the enforcement. Getting a patent may take years and only works in the areas that you get it in. It can also be quite costly, with many fees, including maintenance fees, reissue fees, and more. Often times, patented inventions often generate less revenue than the cost it takes to actually patent it. In addition to this, it can be quite the hassle to enforce, as it can be very time consuming and costly to monitor, track down, and bring any wrong doers to justice for infringement.

Can someone help? Why did Congress put in a "gag rule" in 1835 that ended discussion of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

On this date, during the 24th Congress (1835–1837), the U.S. House of Representatives instituted the “gag rule,” the first instance of what would become a traditional practice forbidding the House from considering anti-slavery petitions. Representative James Hammond of South Carolina first proposed the gag rule in December 1835. Speaker James Polk of Tennessee referred the issue to a special committee to resolve the problem which tied up floor debate for weeks. Committee Chairman Henry L. Pinckney of South Carolina reported back that all petitions, memorials, or resolutions regarding slavery should automatically be tabled and that no further action be taken upon them. Representative John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts raised the first and most impassioned objections to the procedure. Adams shouted during the roll call vote, “I hold the resolution to be a direct violation of the Constitution of the United States.” For the next four Congresses, Adams fervently fought against the gag rule, declaring it a restriction on free speech. Despite his efforts, the House successfully reintroduced the gag rule each Congress until Adams finally mustered enough votes to repeal it on December 3, 1844.

Territorial changes after world war 1 led to the creation of new countries
Anna [14]
<span>A little known fact is that the USSR created a puppet state to act as a buffer between them and Japan which can technically be counted. During the Russian civil war Red army units and Japanese army units clashed, as well as Russian guerrillas. In  response, the USSR created an eastern republic as a buffer state, which prompted Japan to back off, since this was viewed similar to Latvia/Poland, a new country. It lasted for less than a year tho</span>
