Answer:

The correct answer is letter b: went through numerous boom-and-bust cycles.

Explanation:

Throughout the XVII and XVIII centuries the tobacco economy of the Chesapeake region experienced continuing cycles of prosperity and depression, the <em>“boom-and-bust”</em>. Tobacco at first dominated the economy, and in order to produce this commodity Virginia adopted slave labor; by 1700, the state was importing huge numbers of slaves to provide the labor required to plant and harvest the tobacco leaves, this way the plantations owners were able to increase their fortune by selling it to other countries. For long tobacco was a very used source of income; however this practice led to soil depletion, the removal of nutrients due to improper extractive practices.  As a result the production dropped and the state suffered economically. The war also contributed to eliminate most of Virginia’s trading fleet, for example.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

I got you

Explanation:

1. The United States government wanted western lands to be explored and discovered because of a social and economic standpoint. You'll later see these  standpoints as Manifest Destiny and the primary reason was to gain natural resources for America to expand its wealth.

2. The UNited States government "thought" the land was unappropriated , but it actually held hundreds of Indian tribes, Comanches and Apaches that had been there for thousands of years. They would have had a different point of view because it is there ancestral land.

3. The Homestead Act in the large part failed because of the harsh climate, their lack of experience, or the inability to obtain prime farming lands.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

An empresario [em.pɾe.ˈsaɾ.jo] was a person who had been granted the right to settle on land in exchange for recruiting and taking responsibility for settling the eastern areas of Coahuila y Tejas in the early nineteenth century

Explanation:

Since empresarios attracted immigrants mostly from the Southern United States, they encouraged the spread of slavery into Texas. Although Mexico banned slavery in 1829, the settlers in Texas revolted in 1835 and continued to develop the economy, dominated by slavery, in the eastern part of the territory
