Creative Assignment: Westward Expansion and the Transcontinental Railroad

History
1 answer:
Gnoma [55]3 years ago
4 0

Basically when gold was discovered in California, it was acquired through a treaty that would end the ongoing war with Mexico in 1848. Waves of treasure hunters poured into the area. The California Gold Rush was a really big major factor in the process of expanding the West side of Mississippi.

The Westward Expansion was so greatly aided by it's completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, and the passage of the Homestead Act in 1862. Therefor that act was provided/given free 160-acre lots at the unsettled West, so whoever would file a claim, they would be living on that land for five years as well as deciding if they would want to make improvements to it. This would also include building a dwelling if wanted to. 

I REALLY hope that this help's you out. I just learned about it so it should be right. Good Luck!

Why did Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton focus their attention on women’s suffrage?
Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

When Susan B. Anthony was denied a chance to speak at a temperance convention because of her gender, she was inspired to shift her focus to the fight for women’s rights. She realized that no one would take women in politics seriously unless they had the right to vote, writing: “There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.”Anthony was tireless in her efforts, giving speeches around the country to convince others to support a woman’s right to vote. She even took matters into her own hands in 1872 when she voted in the presidential election illegally. Anthony was arrested and tried unsuccessfully to fight the charges. She ended up being fined $100—a fine she never paid.

Sorry if I took too long to answer,hope this helps and good luck!
