Well i would assume this is a simile since the use of “as” and it’s comparing one thing to another :)
State Land Claims: New York<span> claimed that they had bought the Native Indian title to land in the </span>Ohio<span> valley. State Land Claims: The other six states consisting of </span>Rhode Island<span>, </span>New Hampshire<span>, </span>Delaware<span>, </span>New Jersey<span>, </span>Pennsylvania<span> and </span>Maryland<span> did not have "from sea to sea" charters, and so had no claims to western lands.
Hope this helps!! :D</span>
It's too dry to grow crops. People in these regions have become nomadic herders and they must move their herds to find water and grass. The people also might have to adjust to find ways to get water such as developing an irrigation system.
