There were two territories, by 1905, that wanted statehood: the remains of the Indian Territory (which included Native Americans) and the Oklahoma Territory. The former territory held a constitutional convention and decided to request admission as the state of Sequoyah. Moreover, both territories had statehood bills presented in Congress without approval since leaders from the East were concerned about the idea of having two Western states being introduced together: they thought they might lose their own power as politicians.
Although Native American nations were not sovereign, they could share political power as a state. But a small share of the population of the proposed state of Sequoyah was Native American in this period, so the government had to comply with the settlers' needs as well.
Finally, in 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt declared himself in favor of making only a single state. Therefore, the Oklahoma Enabling Act of 1907 created the single state of Oklahoma by combining Oklahoma Territory as well as the Indian Territory, terminating the existence of the Indian Territory.

WITCHER [35]

Society was changing from rural (Country) to urban (City).

Explanation:

When the industrialization process started int he United States, the country started to change rapidly. Initially this process was not accepted the same everywhere, with the North embracing it while the South not being so fond of it but over time it took over all of the states.

The majority of the people lived in rural societies before the industrialization but once it started there was a massive shift of the population from the rural to the urban areas. This resulted in emptying of the rural areas and rapid increase in population and size of the cities. This happened first in the North, so huge cities rose like New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston etc.

The South was slower in this process because it thought that the agriculture does the job for it economically. That quickly changed though with the change of policy of the country, so once the economic troubles started there was sharp demographic switch from the rural to the urban areas in this part of the United States.

enyata [817]

Answer:

The Spanish and the Portuguese were the first European nations to touch and colonize the Americas. The interaction between the natives of the Americas and the Spanish specifically were absolutely vile. The Spaniards decimated entire populations of Native Americans in the Carribean. The Portuguese on the other hand initially took interest in Newfoundland but quickly abandoned that area for the lush coast of modern day Brazi. They constructed many settlements along the coast of Brazil. the Portuguese also had numerous skirmishes with the native inhabitants of South America and also brought over African slaves; they intermarried with the natives, giving birth to a unique mulatto ethnic group.
