I can take a solid guess and say the induction of new territories acquired during the Mexican-American War. This disrupted the Compromise of 1820 which kept slavery beneath the 36 degree parallel. Most of the new territory acquired was beneath this line upsetting the balance between free and slave states in congress which ultimately led to Bleeding Kansas, Popular Sovereignty, The compromise of 1850, and The American Civil War. Hope this helps.

Answer:  C) showed the US backed the independence of Latin America.

Explanation:

The United States was still young at the time the Monroe Doctrine was declared, and did not have a powerful navy to be patrolling the South American coast at that time.  But the US did want to keep European powers from encroaching into the Western Hemisphere, and wanted to put Europe on notice to that effect.  

President James Monroe asserted the doctrine in his annual address to Congress in 1823.  The doctrine was that the US would not interfere in European affairs, but also would view any attempts by European powers to take control of any nation in the Western Hemisphere as a hostile act against the United States.

As reported by the US Office of the Historian, there were some additional motives in mind in the US position, in addition to backing the independence of Latin American nations.  "Monroe’s administration forewarned the imperial European powers against interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states or potential United States territories. While Americans generally objected to European colonies in the New World, they also desired to increase United States influence and trading ties throughout the region to their south."

If the US economy did not crash in 1929, would Hitler have come into power?
umka2103 [35]

The stock market crash on October 24, 1929, marked the beginning of the Great Depression in the United States. The day became known as "Black Thursday," Many factors had led to that moment. World War I, changing American ideas of debt and consumption, and an unregulated stock market all played pivotal roles in the economic collapse.

World War I transformed the United States from a relatively small player on the international stage into a center of global finance. American industry had supported the Allied war effort, resulting in a massive influx of cash into the US economy. As the war interrupted existing global trade relationships, the United States stepped in as the main supplier of goods, including weapons and ammunition. These purchases left European countries deeply in debt to the United States.

After the war, the United States began a period of diplomatic isolation. It enacted and raised tariffs in 1921 and 1922 to bolster American industry and keep foreign products out.

In the 1920s (the “Roaring Twenties”) many American consumers, assuming economic prosperity would continue indefinitely, took on large amounts of personal debt, sometimes at extremely high interest rates. Factories depended on these consumers continuing to purchase their goods.

Finally, the stock market, based on Wall Street in New York City, was loosely regulated. There were few rules to ensure invested money was safe. Speculators began to deliberately manipulate stock prices, buying and selling in order to increase their returns. Only a small number of Americans purchased stock directly, most believing that the market values would continue to increase. Many investors, comfortable with debt, bought stocks “on the margin,” using a small personal investment to pay a portion of the actual share value while borrowing the rest from a bank or other lender. They assumed the stock price would rise and they would be able to repay the balance of the loan from their investment profits. This system worked well, until the stock decreased in value.

How did the civil war help the cause of women's suffrage
Reptile [31]
The Civil War helped the cause of women's suffrage in a couple of different ways. One of these ways was the fact that women had the ability to do the same jobs as men. Since the men were out fighting the war, someone had to step up and take on their jobs, usually the women.
Not only did women take on the male jobs at home, but they also stepped up and helped out on the battlefield. Some of these battlefield jobs included caring for the wounded, providing supplies to the men in the camp, and even some women stepped up and fought on the battlefield. 
By showing the men that they were capable of doing the same exact things they were, it backed up the equality aspect in society.
