Made trade MUCH MUCH EASIER and more profitable. Resulted in business having more power along with pendleton act. Sped up industrialization/westward expansion. Brought wealth to many towns through which railroads passed. Look up long/short haul rates and Cornelius Vanderbilt

It helped to promote economic growth. If you're a farmer that needs to sell his product out of the middle of nowhere, where he lives, you need a way to get your product to market. Or if you're a mining company, you need a way to get your coal sold to other companies. Railroads in the 1800s provided the answer for many people that wanted to sell commodities, such as vegetables, fruits, and meat, as well as non-food items like barbed wire, coal, and wood.

In 1846, most Americans supported a war with Mexico hoping that it would settle boundary disputes and increase the United States
Naddik [55]

Answer:

B. They did not want slavery to extend to new areas of the United States.

Explanation:

The abolitionists didn't want to support the Mexican-American War because they did not want another slave state, in this case, Texas. War was always supported by both sides.

They thought in another slave state like political instability in the United States, but they thought that there were more benefits about the war, and Texas was become in the 28° state of the United States and also in another state slave.

Proclamation of 1763 related word, Stamp Act related word.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

t

his royal proclamation, issued on October 7, 1763, closed down colonial expansion westward beyond Appalachia. It was the first measure to affect all thirteen colonies. The edict forbade private citizens and colonial governments alike from buying land or making any agreements with natives; the empire would conduct all official relations. Furthermore, only licensed traders would be allowed to travel west or deal with Indians. Theoretically protecting colonists from Indian rampages, the measure was also intended to shield Native Americans from increasingly frequent attacks by white settlers. The proclamation also established three new mainland colonies: Quebec, West Florida and East Florida, while extending Georgia’s southern border and granting land to soldiers who had fought in the Seven Year's War.

Did you know? In the United States, the Proclamation's legality ended with the American Revolution, but it remains part of aboriginal land claims made by Canada's First Nation, Metis and Inuit peoples.

How Did Colonists React to the Proclamation of 1763?

Although the proclamation was introduced as a temporary measure, its economic benefits for Britain prompted ministers to keep it until the eve of the Revolutionary War. A desire for good farmland caused many colonists to defy the proclamation; others merely resented the royal restrictions on trade and migration. Ultimately, the Proclamation of 1763 failed to stem the tide of westward expansion.
