Answer:
I can answer your question for A.
Explanation:
South America and North America began to exchange goods and both of their economies prospered, and the Monroe doctrine dictated that European powers were forbidden from interfering or colonizing South America
Ok so when the americans moved west, they built plantations and needed slaves for the plantations. In the east, however, the northern half wanted to free all of them.
Impeding - to delay or prevent by obstructing it/them.
so your answer is B. Obstructing; slowing down.
Joan of Arc is a famous woman in history revered by the French who fought in the Hundred Years War. She was captured at the age of 19 and executed by the English. After her execution, England never regained ground in the war. The French eventually won the war and reclaimed the land they lost to the English. This caused England to retreat to being an island nation.
