Answer: Please see below

Explanation:

Even though the the Great Plains had poor soil texture, bad weather conditions and were not favourable, many immigrants still took the risk going to the Great Plains rather than travel to Oregon California with better conditions for living . This is because of the introduction of The Homestead Act of 1862 by the government which seemed attractive so people banked on it as they felt it would give them opportunity to own land and improve thier financial status on a long run while providing opportunity for many to start Thier lives afresh as freemen.

Also, the discovery of precious metals like gold in the 1870s at South Dakota together with the expansion of railroads saw a more influx of immigrants as the years went by in a bid for immigrants to improve thier economic status.

exis [7]

Answer: B. It represents the main route for settlers moving into the Oregon Territory.

Explanation:

In the early 1800s Americans were encouraged to stretch the USA from the east coast to the west coast in what was called the Manifest destiny. The line above aided in this venture as it enabled people to reach Oregon to the west of the United States.

Rightfully named the Oregon Trail, the line went through four states and allowed hundreds of thousands of people to move to Oregon and other areas in western USA thereby paving the way for the assimilation of those territories into the United States.

In the original location of the Notre Dame Cathedral, other groups of people would often use the area for various religious purp
natka813 [3]

The three groups who used the site for religious purposes were:

  • the Gauls
  • the Romans
  • the Christians

Before the Notre Dame Cathedral was built at the order of the Bishop of Paris, Maurice de Sully, there were other structures on the site belonging to other groups of people which were:

  • Gauls - Gauls used to live in France during Roman times and they built a temple to Jupitar after they were conquered by the Romans.

  • Romans - Romans worshipped Jupitar and so would come to the temple built by the Gauls to worship. As many Gauls received Roman citizenship, they were called Romans as well.

  • Christians - before the Notre Dame was built, there was a church on the site called, the Cathedral of Saint Étienne. It was smaller than the Notre Dame Cathedral but used by Christians to worship.

In conclusion, the Notre Dame Cathedral is a huge symbol in France and represents a wonderful feat of architecture. It was however built on land that had other purposes before it.
