Answer:

1. The mining industry was one of the industries that had great impact for the westward expansion in northamerica. Many people seeking wealth settled in western territories creating small mining towns. These towns were created when the existence of a gold deposit had already been proven but many times they were created only with the rumor that there could be gold there. They were prosperous towns at an economic level until the ore was depleted. Then they left the town. The timber industry began when settlers cut wood to build their settlements on American land.  The westward expansion generated high demand for wood supply, which promoted the timber industry by strengthening the US economy. This industry grew by leaps and bounds and already in 1970, 41% of the timber in the United States came from the Pacific Northwest. During the era of the construction of the transcontinental railroad there was a dramatic expansion in agriculture. The number of farms tripled and the number of people living on farms increased to 31 million in 1905. Industrial agriculture favored the westward expansion since with the introduction of agricultural machinery farmers  managed to increase crop yields with less labor. Farmers organized into local and regional cooperatives to promote their interests.

2. It is possible that many European immigrants arrived in the Americas seeking better living conditions and fleeing adverse economic and political situations in their homelands. They may have chosen to reach the United States looking for raw materials to export to Europe and get money. When thinking about what they could have brought and the type of opportunities that awaited them it is important to consider whether the migration was desired or imposed. Many people came of their own accord and thousands of people were enslaved and brought to America as slaves. Maybe those who came enslaved could not bring anything and others might bring their clothes and items necessary for their business.

How do you think the French people reacted to the news of so many French casualties at the battle?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

France suffered a large and humiliating defeat after the war and was quickly occupied by Germany. The French political elite and lack of quality military leadership fueled their defeat. So I would say, not well. Haha.

yan [13]
The Cabinet is an advisory body made up of the heads of the 15 executive departments. Appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, the members of the Cabinet are often the President's closest confidants. In addition to running major federal agencies, they play an important role in the Presidential line of succession — after the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Senate President pro tempore, the line of succession continues with the Cabinet offices in the order in which the departments were created. All the members of the Cabinet take the title Secretary, excepting the head of the Justice Department, who is styled Attorney General.
