What made the Westward Expansion so easy?

Social Studies

Answer:

There were a number of factors that seemed to converge to make westward expansion more feasible. This included political acts like the Louisiana Purchase and the notion of "manifest destiny."  Increased economic activity like fur trading helped to forge routes westward like the Oregon Trail.

Explanation:

Westward expansion describes the movement of settlers in the American West beginning in the 19th-century. This began when President Thomas Jefferson purchased territory from the French government that doubled the size of the United States in 1803.  Western expansion was also aided by the Gold Rush and the Oregon Trail.  Initially, the Oregon Trail was a route that fur trappers had staked beginning about 1811. They continued to use the route for trading and moving their products until the 1840s. At that time the trail was on passable by foot or by horse. It wasn't until 1836 that the first wagon train left Independence Missouri and was able to get as far as Idaho.  People liked the idea of settling in new communities and finding new opportunities out west and this was reinforced with manifest destiny, the notion that Americans should progressively develop the country and generate prosperity. Unfortunately, this displaced a lot of indigenous groups in the process.

In England under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I how was the issues between Catholics and Protestants settled?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The issues between Catholics and Protestants were settled with the Elizabethan Religious Settlement.

Explanation:

When Queen Elizabeth I took power in England, the kingdom was sharply divided on the issue of religion. Elizabeth I's father, Henry VIII, had separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Mary I, Elizabeth's half-sister, became queen in 1553 (before Elizabeth did). She reversed the religious innovations introduced by her father Henry VIII and brother Edward VI. Under Mary's rule, England was Catholic yet again and abided by the Pope. Mary died and the throne was left to Elizabeth, who was Protestant. The Act of Supremacy of 1558 re-established that the Church of England was independent from Rome. There were still tensions however between the Catholics who were called recusants and who remained loyal to Rome and the Protestants that would continue on after Elizabeth I's death.

East India Company got a decisive victory over the Nawab and his allies. The reason for the Battle of Plassey was that the servants of the company were indulged in abuse of dastaks in inland trade and not paying duty. However, the immediate reason was the conspiracy of Robert Clive with Mir Jafar.
