President Andrew Jackson ignored the Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia
Answer: Overconfidence
Explanation:
Before the attack on Adobe Walls, Quanah Parker and the other Indian attacker took part in a sun dance where a Comanche medicine man proclaimed that he had a vision where the Natives would win. He also said that bullets would not work on them.
This gave the Natives such confidence that they attacked the hunters so brazenly leading to many losses on their part. The Comanche eventually retreated on the sixth day after Quanah was injured.
...Charged very high prices to move farm products to market
The farmers felt the railroads had monopoly power over them. The farmers essentially had no choice but to send their crops to market on trains. There was not much, if any, competition on most short-line tracks that went through farm areas. Therefore, most farmers had to simply accept whatever price railroads charged to transport crops. Farmers felt the railroads could gouge them by charging high prices and that they, the farmers, had no recourse when this happened. They blamed much of their trouble on this monopoly power.
Answer: C. protect new industries
Explanation:
Tariffs are charges to imported goods with the double aim of reducing imports and earning more income from them.
In the early days of industrialization, the U.S. lagged behind the more advanced European economies which meant that the Europeans could produce things cheaper than Americans and therefore sell cheaper as well.
Congress therefore believed that to protect new companies that were rising to meet the challenge they had to impose tariffs so that people would stop buying more imports and switch to the goods produced by the new industries.
