The term is Northwest Ordinance. Northwest Ordinance was an Act of Continental Congress which initially organized the first United States territory and was to be the basis for governing how the United States would expand westward.

 

 

EXPLANATION

The Northwest Ordinance was enacted on July 13, 1787. The Northwest Ordinance was an act of the Congress of the United States’ Confederation. Northwest Ordinance resulted in Northwest Territory, that is known as the first organized territory in the United States. The territory of the western boundary was formed by upper Mississippi.

 

American Revolutionary War was ended in 1783 by the Treaty of Paris. The Treaty of Paris also included that Great Britain yielded this region to the United States. There were many problems in gaining control of the land that were faced by the Confederation Congress. The problems included violent confrontations of the indigenous people, unsanctioned movement of the American settlers to the Ohio Valley, the presence of the British Army that was kept to occupy forts in the region, and an empty United States’ treasury.

 

There were three principal provisions that were ordained in the document. The first one was a division within the Northwest Territory into three until five States, nothing less or more. The second one was three stages method in admitting if there is going to be a new state to the Union. The third one was a bill of rights protecting the freedom of people, especially religious freedom. There were also rights to writ habeas corpus, the benefit of trial by jury, and also other individual rights.

Choice A

Explanation:

The fight was an <u><em>overwhelming victory</em></u> for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake). <u><em>The U.S. 7th Cavalry, a force of 700 men, suffered a major defeat</em></u> while under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (formerly a brevetted major general during the American Civil War). Five of the 7th Cavalry's twelve companies were annihilated and Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew and a brother-in-law. The total U.S. casualty count included 268 dead and 55 severely wounded (six died later from their wounds),[12]:244 including four Crow Indian scouts and at least two Arikara Indian scouts.

Which factor contributed most to the cultural diversity in Canada and the United States?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The correct answer choice is Immigration

Explanation:

Immigration is definitely the factor that has contributed the most to the cultural diversity in both Canada and the U.S.

The United States has recieved, throughout its history, a very large amount of immigrants, from almost every part of the world: Italy, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and even Canada. This has created a very diverse culture, from Italian American culture, to Mexican American culture, to Jewish American culture.

A similar event occurrs in Canada, albeit a smaller extent until recent times. Canada in particular, received a large immigration from Ukraine in the past, and in recent decades, a large Chinese and South Asian immigration.
