Pavlova-9 [17]
1. The people in wagons/horseback with regular clothing are the groups moving west. With them, they bring death/destruction.

2. They may be moving west for better job opportunities, freedom, or to explore.

3. The Native Americans and animals like bears/buffalo were already in the West. They are forced to flee, fight for their land, or even die.

4. The figure in the center of the painting is Lady Liberty. She may represent America as a whole + the way they brought their ideals, hopes, and technology to the West along with them.

5. John Gast likely did not believe that US expansion in the 1800s was justifiable b/c in this painting of his, he portrays some of the negative effects that American expansion had on several groups in the West. There is a pile of animal bones symbolizing death, and other animals, as well as Native Indians, can be seen running away from the people moving west, showing how American expansion caused many to leave their homes.

solong [7]

Hello. This question does not contain the source to which it refers. However, it is possible to find the same question and the source with a quick internet search.

Answer:

D. The introduction of the slave trade to the Atlantic World.

Explanation:

Source 1 presents the beginning of the African slave trade, also known as the transatlantic trade, which allowed that during 1450 to 1750 a large number of African slaves were bought at very low prices and transported to different parts of the world, mainly to the American continent, to be part of the workforce of the farms in European colonies spread across the continent. Most of these slaves came from West Africa and were sold by other Africans, but it was common for Europeans to sail to Africa and capture slaves with their own hands to be sold on the American continent, which was more profitable for the sellers.

What was the Supreme Court case that legalized same sex relationships?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015) (/ˈoʊbərɡəfɛl/ OH-bər-gə-fel), is a landmark civil rights case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The 5–4 ruling requires all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the Insular Areas to perform and recognize the marriages of same-sex couples on the same terms and conditions as the marriages of opposite-sex couples, with all the accompanying rights and responsibilities.[2][3]

Between January 2012 and February 2014, plaintiffs in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee filed federal district court cases that culminated in Obergefell v. Hodges. After all district courts ruled for the plaintiffs, the rulings were appealed to the Sixth Circuit. In November 2014, following a series of appeals court rulings that year from the Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits that state-level bans on same-sex marriage were unconstitutional, the Sixth Circuit ruled that it was bound by Baker v. Nelson and found such bans to be constitutional.[4] This created a split between circuits and led to a Supreme Court review.

Decided on June 26, 2015, Obergefell overturned Baker and requires all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to recognize same-sex marriages validly performed in other jurisdictions.[5] This established same-sex marriage throughout the United States and its territories. In a majority opinion authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the Court examined the nature of fundamental rights guaranteed to all by the Constitution, the harm done to individuals by delaying the implementation of such rights while the democratic process plays out,[6] and the evolving understanding of discrimination and inequality that has developed greatly since Baker.[7]

Prior to Obergefell, same-sex marriage had already been established by law, court ruling, or voter initiative in thirty-six states, the District of Columbia, and Guam.[3]
