Back then most people in the US were small farmers. They went west for free/ cheap farm land, because it was expensive or already taken in the East. They also went West for new opportunity in new lands that needed businesses/ trade, and if desperate enough, to prospect for gold.
<span>People settled where the farm land was good, and near railroad lines (because they needed supplies/ trade). </span>
<span>Once the good farm land in Kansas/ Nebraska was taken, they looked south and further west, where the farm land wasn't so good, but there was lots of room for herding cattle (as in Texas). California on the far side of the deserts and mountains was a big draw because it had some good farm land, some grazing room, harbors and trade by sea, and gold. The Dakotas/ Wyoming Montana were settled for farming and herding but late because of the cold climate. Next was Washington/ Oregon, which had jobs/ trade/ business in virgin timber, sea ports, and a little farm/ grazing land. </span>
<span>The last places of course were the deserts and high mountains as there's nothing there or harsh climate not good for farming/ herding/ railroads/timber.</span>
I think yes, Rome become a democracy, but i'm not sure
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is A. Global recession.</u>
Explanation:
1. Answer B. Falling unemployment levels, is not the correct because what happened was completely the opposite. Around 8.8 million jobs were lost and it took more than six years (May 2014) to recover the peak number of jobs of 138.4 million, reached in January 2008, before the recession.
2. Answer C. Higher job wages, is also inaccurate. According to the Federal Reserve statistics, median family net income decreased from 2008 to 2012 around 7%.
3. Finally, answer D was an undeniable cause, not a result. The housing bubble was a consequence of aggressive lending practices of mortgage loan firms.
