America handled its acquisition of new territories from the late 1800's to 1914 very well, using diplomacy, and making specific distinctions about the territories, their status, and their governing.
Explanation:
Since its establishing as an independent country, the United States has had an expansionist policy so that it can become a large, powerful country. Playing very smartly diplomatically and using the right moments, the American politicians managed to acquire lot of territory from Spain (Florida), Mexico (western, southwestern, and northwestern US), France (French Louisiana), and Russia (Alaska), significantly increasing the territory and the country's power.
In the late 1800's, what is now the United States has pretty much already been under the governing of the United States, with several minor acquisitions happening in meantime. All territorial acquisitions in this period were islands, such as:
- Puerto Rico
- the Philippines
- Guam
- Wake Islands etc.
Some of these territories were planned for acquisition, while some were not. This led to the creation of different policies for different places, careful managing of the territories, and establishing a specific legal status.

The "American standard of living" completely transformed during the mind-twentieth century,
specifically the 1950s. It was a decade of reverence for the esteemed economic system of capitalism
after a decade of horrendous war. Coming out of the Second World War, the 1950s symbolized a
new period of ultimate economic expansion, relatively stable costs and prices, and a lowering
unemployment rate- all leading up to a "golden age of capitalism" and an increased "American
standard of living". (Foner 991) This increased standard of living only came through however, due to
increasing wages for the common man and average citizen. Between 1946 and 1960, the nation's
gross product was merely doubled and because of that, this new generation of Americans was finally
better off than their parents and previous ancestors. As Foner points out, "about 60 percent of
Americans enjoyed what the government defined as a middle-class standard of living." (991) In all
facets of life, nutrition, shelter, income, education, and even leisure, the majority of Americans were
better off. Most of these middle-class Americans now had money to spare, or used that money to
enjoy the finer innovations that came along with this new standard, including television, airconditioning,
and even air travel. In the end, not only did the poverty rate in America decrease during
this decade, but also the basic standard of living for the average American was drastically advanced

The correct answer is B) Native Americans could not trade effectively because they lacked economic leaders.
<em>The disadvantage that native Americans experienced in their trading with Europeans was that Native Americans could not trade effectively because they lacked economic leaders. </em>
European people had many years of experience trading with some other nations. For instance, with Asian and African territories when they expanded their dominions in those regions. So they had experience in negotiating good trades. That was not the case of Native American tribes that had a completely different system of trade with other Native American tribes. There were not experienced leaders in trading with European people and that represented a disadvantaged in negotiations.
