C. A union citizen opposed to fighting the war
Answer:
Option: They wanted to seek silver and gold there.
Explanation:
Americans first travel across the Great Plains to get gold and silver in the 1800s. After the Civil War, a vast amount of people from the east began to move in the West in search of gold. The first wave of settlers to the West were miners. The great plains region consists of Texas, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The best definition for mercantilism would be that it is an economic policy in which countries collect gold or silver and control trade. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
