<em>The Trail of Tears was a walk that Native Americans were forced to go on after being forced out of their homes.</em>

Explanation:

The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830 and meant that Native Americans who were in the way of westward expansion had to move. The United States had just acquired new land to the west and wanted to start expanding that way. This new land was amazing for farmers, as the land was mostly bare and the soil was full of nutrients.

President Andrew Jackson wanted to move the Cherokee to where present-day Oklahoma is located. Some Native leaders ended up going peacefully, but still, some obviously did not want to move from their sacred grounds. Years later, some of the Native Americans still had not moved, so Jackson threatened them and said he would send an army to drive them out. In 1838, Andrew Jackson had done what he had promised and sent an army to make them leave and walk their way to where present-day Oklahoma is located.

This walk that the Native Americans had to go on is called the Trail of Tears. Both the old and young were forced to walk in terrible conditions, often being treated badly by the white soldiers along the way. Many were not allowed to gather up their things before they had left, leaving many without proper food or water. Starvation, disease, and exhaustion was a common cause of death on the Trail of Tears, killing 4,000 Cherokee along the way.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

<h2>D) The Marshall Plan built good will toward the United States that helped contain the expansion of communism.</h2>

Explanation:

The Marshall Plan was an effort both to rebuild Europe and work against  the spread of communism.

The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall.  Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program.  Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948.  The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.

In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall had said:  "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."
