Answer:

Reasons for Moving West

There was a vast amount of land that could be obtained cheaply

Great reports were continually sent back East about how fruitful and wonderful the West is, sparking a lot of interest.

The constraints of European civilization had a lot of people stuck in factory and other low-paid jobs. For the working class it was almost impossible to work themselves up in life, something that was very doable in the New World.

Mining opportunities, silver, and the gold rush was a big draw for many

The expanding railroad provided easier access to supplies, making life in the West easier.

Certain wheat strains were discovered and was capable of adapting to the climate of the plains

Being a “cowboy” and working on farms with cattle was romanticized

The lure of adventure

SCORPION-xisa [38]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, la pregunta no incluye opciones, contexto o alguna región ni fecha en específico.

Las tribus más dominantes tomaron posesión de las pertenencias y personas de las tribus vencidas. Estas tribus basaban su dominio en su fuerza y bravos guerreros. Incluso, después de su victoria, obligaban a pagar tributo a las tribus derrotadas. A final de cuentas, era un desgaste por igual para vencedores y vencidos.

which american naturalist convinced president roosevelt to set aside yosemite valley as a national park A. John Muir B. Samuel M
V125BC [204]

Answer:  John Muir

Explanation/details:

John Muir (1838-1914)  was an ardent environmentalist and an early leader in movements to protect the American wilderness.  He helped campaign to get Congress to make Yosemite a national park, which actually occurred in 1890, during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison.  Land in Yosemite had even been set aside already as protected for public use by Congress in 1864, signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln.  This was known as the Yosemite Grant.   When Teddy Roosevelt became president in 1901, he was a strong supporter of the National Park and National Forest systems.  Roosevelt added 230 million acres of land to those public lands systems, including an expansion of the lands reserved for Yosemite National Park.  

In 1903, President Roosevelt personally took a 3-day camping trip in Yosemite with John Muir, and said of Muir:  "Of course of all the people in the world, he was the one with whom it was best worth while thus to see the Yosemite."

John Muir is well known also as the co-founder of the Sierra Club, along with Henry Senger.  The Sierra Club was one of the world's first major environmental groups, and to this day is highly active in promoting responsible environmental policies.
