which of the following is least useful in arguing that territorial expansion was motivated by a desire to spread slavery
valentina_108 [34]

The least useful in arguing that territorial expansion was motivated by a desire to spread slavery was, the slogan "Fifty-four or Fight".

The "fifty-four or fight" campaign slogan was developed by James K. Polk, a candidate from Tennessee who was hardly known to most Americans. Despite this, he was privately prepared to reach a truce rather than start a war. Additionally, Polk accepted the British proposal to divide Oregon at the 49th parallel in June 1846, preventing conflict.

How was the Toorale Man found?
jekas [21]

Answer:

An aboriginal skeleton that was discovered in 2012 on the banks of Darling river in Tootale National Park is known as Toorale Man. The skeleton's facial bones were damaged and had deep and fatal wounds. The wound stretched from the forehead to the mouth.

Initially, it was believed that the wound was caused by metal blades and the man died in the violence between the aboriginals and European settlers. But the radiocarbon dating revealed that the man died much earlier, almost 700 years ago. It raised several questions about the use of metal by aboriginals because metal arrived in Australia with Macassan Fisherman in the north and then with the European settlement.

His skull was lying on a washed pile of sand and was arranged in a fetal position and his skull was sticking out.
