List and explain the motives behind expansion into texas oregon and maine.

History
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Texas, Oregon and Maine were some of the territories in the United States that were populated after the expansion to the West began. This expansion was a very important process in the history of the country, and it transformed the way Americans lived.

There were many motives for this expansion. One of the most important ones was the desire to find more land. As the population of the country expanded, more families wanted to buy land. However, prices in already established states were high, and finding land in the West was a cheaper alternative.

Another reason was the sense of adventure. Many people wanted to travel West to see what the area had to offer in terms of natural beauty as well as culture. They also liked the idea of going to areas where few people had been before.

Finally, another reason for expanding to these areas was to profit from the natural resources these areas offered. Many businessmen made their fortune by profiting from the resources of these regions during the expansion to the West.

As a result of the Supreme Court decision in Baker v. Carr, courts can require states to keep voting districts the same even if
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: redraw voting districts that are roughly equal in population

Explanation:

In Baker v. Carr (1962), held that Tennessee had infringed the constitutional right of equal protection and forced its legislature to reapportion itself based on population. Before that, rural areas had been overrepresented when compared to urban and suburban areas, especially in the South. Although this case didn´t change electoral districts immediatly, it did set a precedent about federal courts addressing redistricting, and by 1964, in Wesberry v. Sanders and Reynolds v. Sims,  the United States House of Representatives and the state legislatures were required to establish electoral districts of equal population based on the idea of one man, one vote.

Why was the 1846 Battle of Santa Fe in the Mexican-American War significant?
daser333 [38]
The 1846 Battle of Santa Fe in the Mexican-American war was significant, because a) Santa Fe was the capital of Mexico, and the US victory forced Mexico to surrender. However, when General Kearny and his troops reached Santa Fe, there were no Mexican troops to battle the city for and not one shot was fired, as the Americans claimed the capital of Mexico and went on westwards to claim land that is still part of the United States today.
