The correct answers are: 3. The Mexican-American War and 2. Discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill.

Indeed, American settlers had kept going further west; they settled the Mexican state of Texas and became the majority. They ended up seceding from Texas and were an independent republic for 8 years, after which they entered the Union. This provoked a declaration of war from Mexico. The war was won by the United States and in 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo made official the Mexican Cession which gave all the American Southwest to the Union. This made the US a transcontinental nation and settlers started pouring in.

One of these settlers, James Winston Marshall, discovered gold in the Flakes Mountains, in a property owned by John Sutter. The news of the gold became global and hundreds of thousands of new settlers came in search for fortune.

The Stamp Act was a tax on all of the following EXCEPT
Karolina [17]
I believe it is A. American colonists were required to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper including playing cards, legal documents, newspapers and other publications. The reason it is called the Stamp Act is because all of these papers had to be physically stamped to prove that they had paid the tax. So it has nothing to do with taxing postage stamps, so the answer should be A.

satela [25.4K]

The correct answer is A. The Great Schism or the East-West Schism represented the final separation between the Eastern Christian churches (whose leader was Michael Cerularius, the <u><em>patriarch of Constantinople</em></u>) and the Western one whose leader was Leo IX. There were excommunications that ended in 1965, when Pope <em>Paul VI</em> and <em>Athenagoras I</em> revoked the excommunications decrees.
