Explanation:

American imperialism” is a term that refers to the economic, military, and cultural influence of the United States on other countries. First popularized during the presidency of James K. Polk, the concept of an “American Empire” was made a reality throughout the latter half of the 1800s. During this time, industrialization caused American businessmen to seek new international markets in which to sell their goods. In addition, the increasing influence of social Darwinism led to the belief that the United States was inherently responsible for bringing concepts such as industry, democracy, and Christianity to less developed “savage” societies. The combination of these attitudes and other factors led the United States toward imperialism.

He served as the head of government of soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924, and of the soviet union from 1922 to 1924.

9. I believe the answer is C, It prohibited slavery in most of the former Louisiana Territory except for Missouri. In 1820 the congress passed a bill granting Missouri statehood as a slave trade state under the condition that slavery was to be forever prohibited in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36th parallel.
