Answer:
The United States desired the West because the West coast would open up the United States to Asian markets. Eastern ports connected the U.S with Europe. The West meant we could expand our trading power globally.
The population was rapidly growing in the East, Americans were running out of room, they had to move West.
Economic hardships (panics and depressions) in the East pushed Americans to the West.
The West had abundant, inexpensive, and often free, land. This not only attracted eastern Americans, but poor, landless Europeans as well.
The British had their eyes on the West as well. Prior to the Annexation of Texas, Britain had established a friendly relationship with the Republic of Texas. They were interested in trading with Texas and keeping the U.S from expanding West. In order to limit British influence in America, the United States decided to Annex Texas in 1845.
The
Scarlet Letter shows readers the lives of a Puritan community in the 17th
century. Religion (blind religion) meant everything to them, and the words of
their Reverends was law. Breaking any religious rules was punished by public
humiliation and punishment of the person who committed it, for example, Hester
Prynne. When the church found out that she was committing adultery, they forced
her to wear a scarlet letter 'A' on her chest, so that her sin could follow her
everywhere and she (and others in the community), could be constantly reminded
of it. <span>
<span>This kind of belief in punishing supposed "sinners"
made relationships between men and women in this Puritan community very
strained. Religion governed their way of life. They failed to realize that no
human is perfect, and no human can precisely follow that kind of a lifestyle.
In the end, when the reader finds out who the man was that Hester had committed
adultery with, it is obvious what Hawthorne was trying to communicate about
such strict organized religion; no one is as perfect as God, therefore looking
up to reverends and priests in such a blind belief is dangerous because they
are only human and make similar mistakes as everyone else.</span></span>
<span>False. The May 4th movement was not about the African
roots that prevented the colonial rule. It was about China’s anti-imperialist
movement where students made numerous demonstrations in Beijing in 1919. The
reason behind it was that China’s government allowed Japan to receive
territories in Shandong. It was a weak move that sparked national protests
because the Treaty of Versailles was not respected by the Chinese government. </span>
