Read the following quote from U.S. Congressman Gerry Studds, “If John Cabot were alive today, he would not recognize Georges Ban

k. Instead of a sea swarming with majestic cod, he would find dogfish. Instead of flounder, he would find skates. Instead of a fishermen's dream, he would find a nightmare“. (1991) What do you think he meant by this quote?

He is talking about the aspirations of a death man, John Cabot, and the "good" things he hoped for Georges Bank. He wanted greatness, and the reality was there was not more than a disaster. Nothing had turned the way he expected.

We can notice because of the contrast seen in the words used: He wanted lots and good fishes, (using a metaphor) and got bad and disastrous ones.

Compare the Trail of Tears to the Indian Campaigns in New Mexico.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Westward expansion of White settlers caused Native Americans to lose not only land by being confined to reservations but also their traditional resources, including the buffalo, hunting grounds, and sacred landmarks.

Explanation:

Trail of Tears

The Cherokee lived in the Southeast and were largely accepting of the colonial system. They had created a legal system as an independent nation and their government consistent with Cherokee and European traditions. They had their own newspaper and were literate. White settlers in Georgia however were pressing for land in order to grow cotton. In 1830 with the Indian Removal Act the federal government forced the Cherokee to leave and walk thousands of miles to “Indian territory” across the Mississippi River. This became known as the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Nation initially sued for the return of their land and The Supreme Court sided with them but President Jackson overturned the Supreme Court ruling. More than 15,000 Cherokees were subsequently rounded up and forced to march.

Indian Campaigns in New Mexico

There was a similar scenario in New Mexico although it was later, during the Civil War.  Kit Carson was a famous frontiersman who waged a brutal campaign against the Navajo in 1863. When the Navajo resisted confinement on reservations, Carson terrorized them by destroying villages and killing their livestock. Carson captured approximately 8,000 Navajo and marched them across New Mexico to the Bosque Redondo Reservation, over 300 miles from their former villages, where they remained for the duration of the war.  There had been raids and tensions since the 1840s regarding land in this area and treaties were violated.

Identify the economic, political, and/or social causes of the Civil War
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The economic reason for the civil war was the taxes on imported and exported goods. The tariffs that the national government put on imported and exported goods affected the Southern economy, but benefited the Northern economy. This added tensions between the Union and the Southern states. The southern economy depended on selling cotton overseas, but the North had become very industrialized, and their profits went down when trading with England and other European countries was so easy, so the U.S. put taxes on importing and exporting goods to encourage trade between the sections of the country.

Slavery was the moral issue in the Civil War. Most people in the North

wanted to abolish slavery, while the Southern society and economy heavily depended on it. There were debate over whether new states entering the union should be slave or free, especially as in the years before the civil war, the number of Senators from slave and free states were equal, and each side wanted to prevent the other from having an advantage.

How are politics and population connected?<br> Explain.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Votes

Explanation:

When it comes to politics, population can be a big factor that comes into play.

Let's say 55 percent of the the American Population voted for person A.

45 percent voted for person B... Yat, yat, yat...

Or you can say, " This fraction of the US population voted and this didn't."

Things in that manner.
