Why did some American colonists engage in smuggling and piracy?

History
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
5 0
The main reason why some Americans colonists turned to smuggling (more common) and piracy (less common) was economic. Simply put, it was a good way to make money. In addition, many people had so little respect for the laws they were breaking that they did not feel that it was morally wrong to do so.

Which turning point would best start an era called "westward expansion"?
Studentka2010 [4]
Hmm, there were several triggering events that promoted westward expansion of the United States.  Victory in war over Mexico (1848) gave the US new lands in the west.  A treaty with Britain (also in 1848) gave the US sole possession of some formerly disputed Oregon territory lands also. Plus, in 1848, gold was discovered in California (land newly in US possession after that Mexican war treaty), so that prodded westward expansion too.  Perhaps those are the initial "turning points" you're looking for. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 sure helped the process as it was underway, as well.

Which of the following are effects of the War of 18122
Bingel [31]

There was a lot of patriotism after 1812. It was essentially the second revolutionary war.

The US actually gained territory in the south (West Florida from Spanish).

Manufacturing grew during this time to supply the war effort.

A ton of natives were killed during the war (10000 according to wikipedia), so there was a lot less resistance from the natives.

The correct answers are 1, 2, and 4.
