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.

For 45 points! Explain how the War of 1812 included examples of national unity as well as examples of division.
marta [7]

Answer:

Some call the War of 1812, the United State's second war of independence because it generated a lot of pride and helped to consolidate political views after the war, to the point that the period after the war ended in 1815 is referred to as the "Era of Good Feelings." But there were also divisions between the Federalists who supported Britain and the other emerging political forces who wanted expansionism, especially West and who supported the ideas of the French Revolution.

Explanation:

Examples of Division:

The Northeastern United States relied heavily on trade with Britain, so they were therefore opposed with beginning the war. These were the Federalists who accused war supporters of wanting to use the war as an excuse to advance their expansive agenda West. There were partisan divides in Congress between the Federalists who were seen to support Britain and the other interests represented by the  Democratic-Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson, who were more interested in expansionism and breaking ties with England.

Examples of National Unity:

The war was impactful in the United States because it led to the demise of the Federalist party and boosted confidence in the idea of a nation without strong ties to Britain. Winning the Battle at New Orleans, for example, helped to fuel the growing spirit of expansionism that would characterize the years up until the civil war. It also signaled a consolidation of power and opinion against the Native American communities who were being pushed West. It is a decisive turning point in the struggle of Native Americans against large-scale American expansion further West into their territories.
