Answer:

As a barrier against Spain
Profit

Explanation:

During the race to capture as many American colonies as possible in 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, the British and the Spanish set up colonies on the American continent. These included the Southern colonies of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia with Georgia being created by England's King George as a barrier to protect South Carolina from the Spanish who were in Florida because he was worried that they may try to capture the very prosperous colony.

Another reason was profit. The Southern Colonies contained vast fertile lands that would be very useful in Agriculture. Virginia was able to provide wheat and tobacco. North and South Carolina had tobacco, indigo,and rice and Georgia had sugar. This potential for profit from Agriculture spurred the British to set up colonies in these lands.

Mark three ways the attitudes of the United States changed after World War I. It lost interest in progressive causes. It had mor

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Options A, C, E.

Here is why:

It lost interest in progressive causes.

Before and during World War I, many people who were progressive supported the war. Woodrow Wilson, who was the president of the United States at the time, made it seem like World War I was the "war of all wars" and it would end violence around the world. This seems very contradicting, but progressives believed in what he was saying along with other citizens. All of this caused progressivism to fall after World War I, as people started to realize the cruelty and death that happened during the war and associated being progressive with wanting war.

It wanted to return to a normal lifestyle.

After World War I was over, many American citizens just wanted to return to a normal lifestyle. World War I came with many casualties, hardships, and cost the United States a lot of money. Many people were tired and wanted to return back to normal and wanted to avoid another huge conflict. This caused the debate if whether or not the United States should back away from foreign affairs and even try to ignore them.

It was very concerned with the question of isolationism or internationalism.

Although some people in the United States wanted to back away from foreign affairs, isolationism and internationalism was always a question. Isolationism is the act of ignoring and not getting involved in foreign affairs and wars, even if a friendly foreign country needed help. Some people wanted this, as they didn't want anymore American casualties and debt and wanted to always remain in a normal and comfortable lifestyle. Internationalism is the exact opposite and is the act of getting involved in everything important in outside affairs and occurrences. Many people argued that this was correct, as it was important that America evolved with the country to exert and bring peace and prevent wrong doings, harmful ideologies and some countries from becoming too powerful.
