Connecting the two American coasts made the economic export of Western resources to Eastern markets easier than ever before. The railroad also facilitated westward expansion, escalating conflicts between Native American tribes and settlers who now had easier access to new territories.

The railroad established a transcontinental mechanized transportation network that revolutionized the population and economy of the American West. It served as a vital link for trade, commerce and travel that joined the eastern and western halves of late 19th century United States.

Texas declared its secession from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861, after it replaced its governor, Sam Houston, when he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy. As with those of other States, the Declaration was not recognized by the United States government at Washington.

Answer/Explanation:

Generally speaking, whereas Daoism embraces nature and what is natural and spontaneous in human experience, even to the point of dismissing much of China's advanced culture, learning, and morality, Confucianism regards human social institutions—including the family, the school, the community, and the state—as essential.

Describe Southern reactions to the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law and compare their reactions to those expressed by Norther

Veronika [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Southern reactions to the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law were positive. Southern people welcome this legislation because it supported slavery in the South. Southern owners of large plantations heavily depended on slavery to produce the number of crops needed for internal consumption, trade, and exportation to Europe.

Comparing southern reactions to those expressed by Northerners, we can see how people from the North were against the Fugitive Slave Law because it forced them to support slavery, and northerners were abolitionists, demanding the end of slavery in the United States.

The Fugitive Slave Law was passed in 1850.
