Answer:

The correct answer is the The Irish Famine

Explanation:

Also known as the Potato Famine of Ireland and the Great Famine. It started around 1845 and lasted till 1849.

The famine caused hunger and disease to go rampant and killed almost a million people. During the time, Ireland saw one of the great migrations take place as thousands left for the United States to seek a better life.

When the Famine was over, the demographics of the country had completely changed.

By the 1900, New York had more Irish than Dublin and today over 34 million Americans have Irish ancestry. Which is 5 times the population of Ireland itself

Answer: The Gold Rush In California.

Explanation:  The event that caused a great influence of immigrants to enter the United States was The Gold Rush in California. With this social phenomenon, not only Americans from other states felt motivated to emigrate to California, but many immigrants from other countries did too. At the beginning the search for the mineral resource was done in a simple way, exploring the rivers and streams where it was believed the precious metal could be found, then, there were more advanced techniques for its extraction. Many people who knew about this news did not hesitate to leave everything behind and take a new course towards the United States of America.

PLEASE HELP!!! Willing To Type Short Response To This

Answer:

The leaders of the American Revolution made three great gambles. First, they sought independence from the powerful British Empire, becoming the first colonies in the Americas to revolt and seek independence from their mother empire. Second, they formed a union of thirteen states, which was also unprecedented, for the colonies had long histories of bickering with one another. Third, the revolutionaries committed their new states to a republic, then a radical and risky form of government. In a republic, the people were the sovereign—rejecting the rule of a monarch and aristocrats. Today we take for granted that governments elected by the people can be stable, long lasting, and effective. But the Americans in the new nation were not so sure, given the lessons of history. In 1789, the United States was the only large republic in the world; the others were a handful of small city-states scattered in Europe, and none of the larger republics in the history of the world had lasted very long. Like the ancient republic of Rome, they had collapsed and reverted to some form of tyranny, usually by a military dictator.

Any one of those three gambles was an enormous risk. The miracle was that the revolutionaries pulled off all three of them, winning their war against the British, and securing a generous boundary in the peace treaty of 1783: west to the Mississippi, south to Florida, and north to the Great Lakes, with the Atlantic Ocean as the eastern boundary.

During the mid-1780s, however, the new nation seemed about to collapse as quickly as it had been created. The first constitution of the United States was the Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781. It proved too weak to control the powerful state governments. Unable directly to tax people, the confederation lacked its own revenue and could not afford an army or a navy, or even to pay the interest on its massive war debt. American Indians defied the confederation, and the Europeans insisted that no republic could endure on such a big geographic scale.

Plus the states were roiled by social conflicts between the wealthy gentlemen and the common people over issues of credit or debit. Gentlemen faulted the state governments for pandering to common voters by offering to relieve debtors at the expense of their creditors, those gentlemen who had loaned them money and goods. The gentlemen concluded that the state governments were too democratic, which meant too responsive to public opinion. And when a rare state government did favor the creditors, it provoked resistance from armed farmers.
