Answer:

I can help!

Explanation:

1.) After the end of the American Revolutionary War, heading into the beginning of the 1800’s, many families living on the eastern side of the U.S.A were tired of failed promises from the Congress (such as free land to White Male soldiers, batter pay, retirement benefits, and failure to abolish slavery). In addition, many families didn’t have much to live off of due to scarce resources, that and also riots, terrible working schedules, and false sense of security led many families to head westward, beyond the Mississippi River. These people packed up all their belongings (food, clothing, water, and even guns) loaded them up on giant wagons pulled by horse or donkey and trekked the 9 month journey to the American West. To places which are modern day Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington State.

2.) During this time though, modern day places like the Great Plains where under the control of France. From modern day North Dakota to Louisiana. The American Southwest was under the control of Spain (that is until Mexico broke free and still retained control of this land till 1820). And the Pacific Northwest (which would be modern day Washington and Oregon) was unclaimed territory during the year 1800. But most important of all were the Native American tribes that lived in all corners and places of Modern Day USA. France lost majority, if not all its land in the USA after the Louisiana Purchase. Spain, and then Mexico, lost all its southwestern land after the Mexican-American war, and the Native tribes lost all their land and were forced onto reservations which still exist today. As a result of westward expansion, the European powers of France and Spain lost lots of land in North America, and the Native Americans were persecuted, hunted, killed, sold into slavery, or “civilized” in “christian” internment camps. The Native peoples’ lost more that’s France and Spain.

3.) For one thing, France and Spain probably viewed their loss in North America as upsetting but not as bad, since these two countries had many overseas colonies that made up their empires, with Spain owning the most colonies than France. So this loss of “competition” in imperialism wasn’t as bad for them so they viewed it as a whatever moment. But for the Native Peoples’, they viewed ”manifest destiny” with hatred, sadness, and anger. The whole idea of “manifest destiny” was that God supposedly gave the USA the calling to stretch its borders from the Atlantic, all the way to the Pacific coast, and so many people took advantage of it at the expense of the Native Peoples’. Those that were Natives that kept up with the news and modern times of the USA, probably viewed the U.S. government as hippocrates, because how can believers of freedom be so oppressive to people different than them.

I hope this helps!

How did the Ottoman Empire contribute to the spread of art and culture?
madam [21]

Ottoman Art and Science

Istanbul and other major cities throughout the empire were recognized as artistic hubs, especially during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. Some of the most popular forms of art included calligraphy, painting, poetry, textiles and carpet weaving, ceramics and music.

Turkish carpets, decorative calligraphy, painted ceramics and elaborate mosque architecture are some of the art that came from the Ottoman Empire, an empire once located in the Middle East and centered in present-day Turkey.

Ottomans had contributed to the development of hospitals and healthcare, and witnessed advances in medicine, mining and military technology. They also set up a leading observatory in Istanbul and had established more than 300 centres of learning known as medreses.

Have a wonderful thanksgiving!!
