Taking into account the statement above: "Give examples of people and places impacted by the desire for mineral wealth, economic opportunities, and religious refuge on westward migration in the early 19th century"
The answer is: The California Gold Rush and other rushes in Nevada, Colorado, and the Dakota. Thousands of men towards the West in search of mineral wealth resulted in a large rush of migration. The irish and German immigrants migrated West in search of cheap, fertile farmland that they could establish homesteads on and work to make a steady living. Also, the Irish also sought religious freedom, as they faced a lot of persecution due to their Roman Catholic faith. In addition, many pioneer families moved west to start homesteads and develop rural communities with schools in areas such as California and Oregon.
Hope this helps.
On June 13th, the leaders of the colonial forces learned that the British were planning to send troops into Charlestown. In response, 1,200 colonial troops under the command of Col. William Prescott quickly occupied Bunker Hill on the north end of the peninsula and Breed's Hill closer to Boston. By the morning of the 16th, they had constructed a strong redoubt on Breed's Hill and other entrenchments across the peninsula. The next day, the British army under General William Howe, supported by Royal Navy warships, attacked the colonial defenses. The British troops moved up Breeds Hill in perfect battle formations. One of the commanders of the improvised garrison, William Prescott, allegedly encouraged his men to “not fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” Two assaults on the colonial positions were repulsed with significant British casualties; the third and final attack carried the position after the defenders ran out of ammunition. The colonists retreated to Cambridge over Bunker Hill, leaving the British in control of Charlestown but still besieged in Boston. The battle was a tactical victory for the British, but it proved to be a sobering experience, involving more than twice the casualties than the Americans had incurred, including many officers. The battle demonstrated that inexperienced Continental militia could stand up to regular British army troops in battle.
The correct option is B
clothing
Clothing prices went down as Americans begun industries to process their own clothes following the bitter years of embargo.The British blockade of the American coast created a shortage of cotton
cloth in the United States, leading to the creation of a
cotton-manufacturing industry, beginning at Waltham, Massachusetts by Francis Cabot Low, which consequently lowered the price of clothing in USA.
