At the time, the Lousiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States giving her power and resources(land, water, trade routes, minerals). It also gave America access to the ports in the area greatly aiding trade. The land had belonged to France before it was sold to America, so the purchase removed their presence in the area for the most part. It also fixed ties with France who had previously asked for aid in the French Revolution to which America said no; giving France money in the form of this purchase healed the connection slightly.

The Oregon territory officially belonged to Britain, but was mostly inhabited by Native Americans. It was a very large area that caused many disputes between the European colonists due to the fur-trade. America gained the land (segments of present-day Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana) in 1859 when Oregon officially became a state. Many Native Americans were also sent here as America continued to gain territory. The giving over of the land was used to settle the boundary dispute between America and Britain.

The US expanded their territory and the purchase secured American control of the Mississippi river which literally doubled the size of the nation. Although they had bought the land from the French, the natives still lived on the land and wouldn't let go easily thus this resulted in a number of wars such as the battle of new Orleans  between the government and the natives.

Which of the following does this cartoon illustrate?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

B) native citizens' fear that Chinese immigration would mean fewer jobs for the native population

Explanation:

<u>The cartoon in question dates from 1880. and is called "The Tables Turned". </u>

The Chinese population began to immigrate to the US in the 1850s. They first started doing physical labor, but soon after started their works and entrepreneurship.

<u>This wasn't welcomed by the population living in the US. They have feared this would affect their economy and that the Chinese population would take their jobs.</u>

The name of the cartoon "The Tables Turned" refers to the fact that, in the cartoon, those who were on the continent for a longer time, had no jobs, and how the economy and work has been taken over by the incoming Chinese population. The jobs aren't only manual jobs, but also jobs for women (who are looking displeased in the cartoon) such as nursing jobs, laundries, offices, etc. The cartoon shows the fear, but also hostility towards newcomers.

This attitude depicted in the cartoon resulted in the Chinese Exclusion Acts that limited the immigration of Chinese workers in the US.
