The sinking of the USS Maine lead to the Spanish-American War because the American battleship was docked in Cuba, then a Spanish territory. When it blew up alot of American citizens thought it was the Spanish because it was docked on a Spanish island. The Spanish however told the US that it was rebels that blew it up. To this day no one knows who or what blew up the US battleship USS Maine. <span />

What does abbott's recollection tell you about the changing frontier?

Sedbober [7]

When Europeans arrived in America in the 1600s, the frontiers began moving west. As they continued spreading their land occupation, American Indians were moved west. In 1889, the government transferred white colonists the Indian land, breaking the promise, as these lands had been promised to Indians. The Indians tried to take over those lands to no avail. In 1890 the Bureau of the Census stated there were no frontiers within the country.

Someone please help ASAP//brainliest//points

Okay so
1. The new diseases
2. New weapons
3. Different animals
4. Different languages
5. and religion
I would say the new diseases that the white men brought over with them affected and changed the Native populations the most because many people died from these diseases because the Natives did not know how to prevent them or what to treat them with.

I would say that religion was the least change because even though some accepted the other religions, it really didn't affected the population.

Hope this helps you!
