Answer:
The correct answer is <u>A) Hernando DeSoto was the first known European explorer in what is now the Southeast.</u>
<u>D: Spain founded Catholic "missions" to spread their influence in North America.</u>
<u>E) Diseases spread by the Spanish caused many American Indians to die.</u>
Explanation:
Hernando DeSoto was a celebrated Spanish explorer who worked under the Spanish crown to explore, plunder and conquer the new world. While he was not the first European to explore North America, he is widely reported as the first to reach the great Mississippi river.
He led his expeditions from modern-day Florida and moved upwards, exploring Alabama, Georgia and neighboring regions. This would rightly be described as the US Southeast today.
While he was not able to establish colonies here, he had a number of clashes with local tribes and more devastating were the diseases that his crew carried. Small pox and measles were unheard of in the new world and wherever they traveled, the diseases spread quickly.
Also, Spain used religion as a means to convert people and bring them under their sphere of influence.
The Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, or as it is known the Slave Trade Act 1807, was meant to end slave trade that got its slaves from Africa (D).
Since this was mainly the only place from which slaves were bought, Africa is directly named in the document as the means to end all slave trade.
However, contrary to these expectations, the act did not abolish slavery in English soil. It was thought that by abolishing slave trade, slavery would naturally end. That didn't happen until 1833 with the Slavery Abolition Act that directly abolished slavery in all English soil.
Licoln knew that he could not prevent the war, but he insisted that the Confederacy must fire the first shot. Afree the bombardment began US ship was sent to evacuate Fort Summer , but it was unable to do so.
In short Licoln strategy was to make no aggresive moves toward the south until after the fort had been fired upon thus giving the union the moral high ground ^-^
Answer:
Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United States from France in 1803. In return for fifteen million dollars, or approximately eighteen dollars per square mile, the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq mi. However, France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of it inhabited by American Indians; for the majority of the area, what the United States bought was the "preemptive" right to obtain Indian lands by treaty or by conquest, to the exclusion of other colonial powers. The total cost of all subsequent treaties and financial settlements over the land has been estimated to be around 2.6 billion dollars.
By its terms the Louisiana Territory, in the form France had received it from Spain, was sold to the United States. For this vast domain the United States agreed to pay $11,250,000 outright and assumed claims of its citizens against France in the amount of $3,750,000.

Sharecropping gave white landowners the upper hand and economic dominance in Southern society.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
Share cropping is a form of agriculture in which the owner of the land gives his land to the tenants where they can grow the crops and earn their livelihood. So this system of agriculture gave an upper hand to the land owners who belonged to the people of the white community and gave them an economic dominance also. It suppressed the lower sections of the society who were the tenants and who were dependent on the land owners for borrowing the land.
