Answer:

Pinchot's ideas inspired government policy that forests be protected for public use.

Explanation:

Gifford Pinchot, a well-known politician, a member of the progressive reforms of the Roosevelt administration, a figure in the field of environmental protection in the United States, substantiated the ideas of the careful and efficient use of resources. He led the US Forest Service and first introduced environmental management practices regarding forests, soil, and other natural resources. At the beginning of the 20th century, he was one of the key politicians substantiating the need for environmental protection, based on economic viability.

Pinchot was appointed by McKinley as Head of the Department of Forestry at the Department of Agriculture. In 1905, his department gained control of national forest reserves. Pinchot promoted private use (for a fee) under federal control. In 1907, Roosevelt allocated 16 million acres (65,000 km²) of new national forests.

Describe why the need for raw materials led to further state expansion.

Alexus [3.1K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The need for raw materials led to further state expansion, following the Manifested Destiny that was the belief for many Americans that God's will was for America to expand its territories. After the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, US President ordered the Lewis & Clark expedition to the new Western territories. When the exédition was over, those explorers went to Washington D.C. to inform the President about the results. That is when Jefferson authorized people to settle those territories, work the land, and exploit the many raw materials and natural resources to get a profit.
