History

Answer:

Explanation: The Americans wanted to expand westward because they realized that large amounts of gold lay in this territory, especially in Coloma, in a sawmill called Sutter's Mill. Eager for a change to better life chances, many emigrations were made to that place. The number of emigrants to California was so great that this phenomenon was called The Gold Rush.

The Americans were willing to go to war to secure the West because many of them had settled in Texas, which was part of Mexico, thus beginning the United States-Mexico War, between 1846 and 1848 where it was intended to do expansion by the Americans adopting the doctrine of Manifest Destiny.

What advantages would nomadic people have in the larger economy around them?
Grace [21]
Nomadic pastoralism is of far greater importance to many economies than the relatively small number of nomads would imply. Nomads produce valuable products like meat, hides, wool, and milk. Traditional pastoralism turns grasslands to economic advantage.
