History
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

One reason Jefferson wanted to purchase the Louisiana Territory is for future expansion.

Explanation:

Jefferson had read about the Northwest Passage, a way to link the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and thus a secured trade route. As it was at the time most of the territory west of the colonies was still controlled by the Native Americans as well as it being undeveloped, going was very slow for explorers. Having access to the Mississippi River would change so much for trade routes and Jefferson was forward thinking in knowing that securing the Mississippi River would change trade prospects in the new United States.

British frustration with the American colonies during the French and Indian War cited all of the following factors EXCEPT:
Viktor [21]

Answer: C.) British officers were often forced to serve in subordinate roles to their colonial counterparts.

For the most part, this was the opposite. The frustration was on the part of the colonial forces as they were often forced to serve in subordinate roles.

The clash of command was a serious problem for the militias. British officers generally regarded themselves as higher than colonial ones, which colonial officers considered an offence. The solution was to divide each militia unit into smalled commands, and to recommisision militia officers with a rank of captain and above with a rank of captain. This demoted all the high-ranking colonial officers and placed them as subordinate to British captains. The new system was extremely unpopular with colonials and caused many of them to resign from the military.
