7 0

Best answer:

<h2>The United States concentrated its efforts on the development of rockets.</h2>

History / explanation:

The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957.  The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system. In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had.  The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board.  The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded in July, 1958, to continue the United States' advance in space technology.

Answer: Compromise of 1850

Explanation: The Compromise of 1850 was a series of five laws that were passed in September of 1850 to deal with the issue of slavery. In 1849, California requested permission to enter the Union as a free state, potentially altering the balance between the free and the slave states in the Senate. The document was introduced as an attempt to seek a compromise between North and South and avoid a crisis.

As part of this compromise, the Fugitive Slave Act was amended and the slave trade in Washington, D. C. was abolished.
