The trail of tears was the forced migration of several American Indian tribes from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to farther west of the Mississippi River, their new territory, as designated in the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

The tribes, that included Cherokee, Creek, Ponca, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, and others, were forcibly relocated by government authorities between 1830 and 1850. During the journey, people suffered from starvation, thirst, exposure, disease and exhaustion; thousands of them died before even getting to their destiny.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

d. 160 acres were inadequate for productive farming on the rain-scarce Great Plains.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act of 1862 was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862, which provides lands to anyone desiring it for an almost-free of cost. The legislation would become a crucial aspect for Westward expansion and also provides people from all walks of life the chance to acquire land.

Despite the huge surge in homesteaders, one negative aspect of the Act was that in that arid land of the Great Plains, a mere 160 acres was not much to farm with. This would become a pertaining issue for the settlers hoping to farm and maintain their survival.

Thus, the correct answer is option d.

Who wanted to extend slavery into the United States's newly acquired western territory?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Politicians were forced to deal with the issue of slavery and its westward expansion as early as the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The States had previously maintained a shaky balance in the Senate with an equal number of representatives from both Slave and Free States. As Missouri prepared to enter the Union as a Slave State, this tentative balance threatened to come undone. Henry Clay of Kentucky temporarily solved the issue by crafting the Missouri Compromise, bringing Missouri into the Union as a Slave State and, as a balance, Maine entered as a Free State. The Compromise also made future bondage illegal in all areas of the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36°30′ parallel with the exception of Missouri; all future states below this line would become Slave States.  This Compromise solved the immediate problem of slavery in the Louisiana Purchase by sweeping the real issue of slavery under the rug in order to placate both northern and southern politicians. In the years to come, politicians of both northern and southern states would not be so quick so compromise.

Tema [17]

The correct answer is - market economy.

This is an example of an economy that has been gradually transitioning towards market economy. The market economy basically means that the companies are owned by private owners, and not by the government, and that they work on their own, and have an open trade with the other economies around the world. This process hasn't been finalized yet in Saudi Arabia, but little by little is getting there.
