Answer:

    The rampant occupation of the American West was encouraged by an ideology existing in the United States at the time and by the conditions offered by the American government. During the 19th century, an ideology known as Manifest Destiny was formulated, which claimed that the United States was predestined (chosen) by God to form a great nation. This “divine vocation” was used as a pretext to justify the violence against indigenous people, for example.

    The incentive of the American government came with the Homestead Act, or the Settlement Act, enacted in 1862. This law, instituted during the Abraham Lincoln government, offered lots of land in the west at a very low price for interested Americans and demanded in exchange that the land sold was inhabited and cultivated for a minimum period of five years. Thus, farmers sought new land to cultivate and new markets to dominate, and miners sought opportunities for wealth and prosperity at new points of exploitation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era

From Wikipedia:

The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] The main objectives of the Progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. They also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

Many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation.[2] At the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.[3] A third theme was building an Efficiency Movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "Taylorism". The middle class was in charge for helping reform the Progressive Era, and they got stuck with all of the burdens of this reformation. In Michael McGerr's book A Fierce Discontent, Jane Addams stated that she believed in the necessity of "association" of stepping across the social boundaries of industrial America.[4]

Many activists joined efforts to reform local government, public education, medicine, finance, insurance, industry, railroads, churches, and many other areas. Progressives transformed, professionalized and made "scientific" the social sciences, especially history,[5] economics,[6] and political science.[7] In academic fields the day of the amateur author gave way to the research professor who published in the new scholarly journals and presses. The national political leaders included Republicans Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La Follette Sr., and Charles Evans Hughes and Democrats William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson and Al Smith. Leaders of the movement also existed far from presidential politics: Jane Addams, Grace Abbott, Edith Abbott and Sophonisba Breckinridge were among the most influential non-governmental Progressive Era reformers.

Initially the movement operated chiefly at local level, but later it expanded to state and national levels. Progressives drew support from the middle class, and supporters included many lawyers, teachers, physicians, ministers, and business people.[8] Some Progressives strongly supported scientific methods as applied to economics, government, industry, finance, medicine, schooling, theology, education, and even the family. They closely followed advances underway at the time in Western Europe[9] and adopted numerous policies, such as a major transformation of the banking system by creating the Federal Reserve System in 1913[10] and the arrival of cooperative banking in the US with the founding of the first credit union in 1908.[11] Reformers felt that old-fashioned ways meant waste and inefficiency, and eagerly sought out the "one best system".[12][13]

What impact did absolutism have on France, England, or Russia? (Pick one)
suter [353]
Absolutism in France was the gathering of enormous power in the hands of the monarch or king of France. Through this process the king became supreme in his power and control of affairs in the country. One major effect of absolutism in France was the emigration of Huguenots who fled to other European nations and the American colonies where they were able to practice their religion without fear of retribution. Also absolutism in France led to institutionalized corruption and oppression that would later serve to spur on the French Revolution.

mars1129 [50]

The correct answer is In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus published On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres, which said the universe was heliocentric.

Explanation

Nicolás Copernicus (1473 - 1543) was an astronomer of Prussian origin who stands out for being the one who first formulated the heliocentric theory of the solar system. It is necessary to remember that during the medieval period (5th century BC - 15th century AD) science was stagnant due to the rise of the Christian religion in Europe. Later, with the arrival of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, the sciences took on greater importance than religion and there were great technological, scientific, mathematical, geographical advances and in general in all areas of science. During this time the theory that had been accepted throughout the world was the Geocentric one that affirmed that the earth was the center of the solar system and that the other planets orbited around it. For his part, Nicolas Copernicus spent a long time studying to argue the Heliocentric theory, in which he rejected the claim that the planet Earth was the center of the solar system to propose that the sun was the center of the solar system and that the planets orbited around it. Copernicus's theory was unveiled the same year of his death

1543, when he published his book the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres, in which he exposed his model of the solar system and explained his theory in detail. Therefore, the correct answer is In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus published On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres, which said the universe was heliocentric.
