Importance of additional land acquired through westward expansion

History
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0
The westward expansion era in the United States was one of great importance, as it helped to create the shape of the United States today. One of the reasons acquiring land was important was because it would help to complete America's manifest destiny. Manifest destiny is a term that states that it was America's god- given right to control all land from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This belief that it was supposed to be America's land caused them to buy land (like the Louisiana Purchase from the French and Florida from Spain) and even fight for it (Mexican-American War- results in US getting Arizona, California, Utah, etc.).

Besides completing America's manifest destiny, acquiring this land allowed the US to gain significant natural resources. A perfect example would be in California. After gaining California from Mexico, gold was found. This lead to the California Gold Rush of 1849. Finding this valuable commodity lead to a huge increase in the population of California and it gave the American economy a boost.

The House of Lords powers were limited to
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The house of Lords power is limited to certain laws. The house of Lords can reject or pass any bill, but they cannot reject or pass anything which the House of Commons has rejected. The House of Lords power is restricted by the Parliament's acts.

Explanation:

The house of Lords is a group of elected people who are eligible to hold their seats until the day they die. Under no obligation are they to be replaced unless they want to.

Even though they are accountable to no one, they do not share the same

privileges as the House of Commons do.

How did European colonization affect west Africa HELP
bogdanovich [222]

The European colonization of West Africa had numerous effects on the native people of the region. The Europeans used multiple methods to keep the things under control, including assimilation and association, or dividing and ruling. There was segregation, and the native people were not allowed to take high positions, or to be included into the education.

The borders between the imperialist powers did not corresponded with the ethnic or religious background of the people, which later in the history turned out to be a huge problem which has a big effect even in the present.

The Europeans also used lot of the natural resources of the region. For that purpose they built infrastructure, which can be seen as positive as it remained for usage for the native people after they gained independence. Also the Europeans introduced multiple plants, mostly cash-crops in the region, and they were of great benefit during the colonization, and in the present are still the main source of income for multiple nations of West Africa.
