Answer:

the ears of immigrants, freed slaves, farmers, single women, and others. For many, life in the eastern states had lost its appeal. Some had trouble finding a job, overcrowding started being an issue in certain areas, and farmers wanted more land to farm. Others just didn’t like living in what was becoming an industry-driven country with large cities. Still others moved west to escape persecution. Many people living in modern-day Utah and surrounding areas had pioneers in their family move west with Brigham Young and the Mormon pioneers starting in 1846.

In 1848, the California Gold Rush began. The gold rush attracted opportunists, miners, and businessmen. It also brought much needed goods to the West and created small mining towns. Pioneers came on several routes, the most common being the California and Oregon Trails.

Texas ranches provided work for cowboys and ranchers. In later years, free-range cattle would be rounded up and fenced in. With less cattle roaming the open land, space was made for even more pioneers to settle on.

The government also provided incentives such as the Homestead Act for people to move west into the newly acquired territory.

The Homestead Act of 1862

In 1862, the Homestead Act was created. It allowed pioneers to claim 160 acres of free land. This offer went to anyone who was listed as head of the household or who was at least 21 years of age. This act provided a great opportunity for people who looked to build a new life. The main requirement for making a claim was that claimants stayed on the land for five years and made various improvements, such as building a house. The only money spent was an $18 filing fee.

How did the French Revolution influence African slaves in Frances Caribbean colonies?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. It inspired them to launch their own political revolution.

An example of this was the Haitian revolution. For over a century, French had been ruled in the Haitian island (called Saint Dominique by the French). Although at the time, it was one of the wealthiest colonies producing sugar and coffee mainly, it was all at the expense of the Haitian slaves. Haitian had to endure oppression, violence and poor living conditions.

Explanation:

The French Revolution was a period of radical political and societal change in France that began with the Estates General of 1789 and ended with the formation of the French Consulate in November 1799. Many of its ideas are considered fundamental principles of liberal democracy, while phrases like Liberté, égalité, fraternité reappeared in other revolts, such as the 1917 Russian Revolution, and inspired campaigns for the abolition of slavery and universal suffrage. Its values and the institutions it created dominate French politics to this day.

Buhen (Ancient Greek: Βοὥν Bohón)[1] was an ancient Egyptian settlement situated on the West bank of the Nile below (to the North of) the Second Cataract in what is now Northern State, Sudan. It is now submerged in Lake Nubia, Sudan. On the East bank, across the river, there was another ancient settlement, where the town of Wadi Halfa now stands. The earliest mention of Buhen comes from stelae dating to the reign of Senusret I.[2] Buhen is also the earliest known Egyptian settlement in the land of Nubia.[3]

Although the southern states were all seated in Congress by 1870, federal troops remained in some southern states until the comp

Flura [38]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The exit of Union troops from the territory of Southern states marked a symbolic end to the Reconstruction Era. It followed a major political deal between Republicans and Southern Democrats. The 1876 election was a disputed election; results from Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina - three states where Republicans still governed - were questioned. The deal recognized the victory of Republican Rutherford Hayes as president and agreed to Democratic control in the South.

In the 1870s, the Republican Party had turned more conservative and less egalitarian, and though the 14th and the 15th Amendments had been passed by Congress to give rights to African-Americans, Southern legislatures had passed laws that put important barriers to the African-American voters to exercise their rights.
