Which was not a reason people moved west in the mid-1800's?

History

Answer:

C. to start cotton plantation

Explanation:

People moved to the west in the<em> mid-1800s</em> due to the "Homestead Act" that was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. This act distributed the wild lands to people thus, <u>giving them the opportunity to have a</u><u> free land</u><u> which they could cultivate.</u> This makes letter A (to obtain free land) as one reason.

It was, supposedly, an opportunity for different individuals such as<em> farmers, cowboys and miners.</em> Many people were driven to the west in search for gold, silver and copper. This makes letters B (to establish cattle ranches) and D (to prospect for gold) as other reasons.

However, it became harder for American farmers to grow crops. Plantation was mainly focused on <em><u>wheat and corn.</u></em> So, this makes letter C (to start cotton plantation) as incorrect.

Compare and contrast settler colonialism and economic imperialism
juin [17]
Similar--both control economic resources and typically expect a market to rise out of the imperialism. 

Difference--settler colonialism the people from the home country make a home in the new colony establishing political, social, and economic systems. In economic imperialism, only a few people from the home country may make a home in the imperial land but mostly the social structure is left alone and even the political structure is left untouched unless it is not kind to the home country. It is focused on resources and markets with businesses often owned by the home country.

4. How much did you know about the war on drugs and war on crime before watching the film? Were you surprised to learn about the
Oliga [24]

1. Before watching the film, I understood that the war on drugs and war on crime were attempts by the government to stop the illegal consumption and distribution of hard drugs that endangered the lives of the youths, whether they were Whites or people of color.

2. I was surprised to learn that the legislative policies and the active role that the state played in criminalizing and deliberately targeting communities of color had racial underpinnings. Who could have imagined racial hatred drove all the governmental efforts against criminality?

After all, drug dealing and other forms of criminality have not helped people of color in any positive way. They have cut short the aspirations of many.  Somebody like Robert DeShaun Peter lost his brilliant future and life in such acts.

3. The immediate reaction was that governmental powers should never be used to <em>malign a race</em>.  While drugs and crimes have not helped the youths in making societal progress, the <em>war against drugs and crimes</em> should not be against the black race but criminality.

Thus, such partial wars targeting a racial community were not necessary.  <em>Wars against illicit drugs and crimes</em> should be waged holistically for corrective effects and <em>not internalize hatred.</em>
