Answer:

The four free states west of the Mississippi River were Iowa, California, Minnesota and Oregon.

Explanation:

The Northwest Territories of the United States was the first region in the United States to completely abandon slavery. The Northwest Ordinance passed shortly before the adoption of the US Constitution (1787) stipulated that slavery and religious discrimination were prohibited in the Northwest Territories.

The states that were later established in the region, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, were mostly settled by New England immigrants and retired veterans of the American Revolution. These states prohibited slavery since its creation.

With the creation of the states of California and Oregon in the west coast, there was also agreed that these states would become free states, to keep the balance between slave and free states in Congress.

During war time most male citizens are employed (If the waring country uses conscription) which lowers the national unemployment rate. Factories for non essential items will start to switch into making products for war use which makes businesses boom and grows the national economy. Also employment rates rise again due to the factory workforce hiring women and men who cant fight in war to work in the factories. War-bonds fund the government aswell, because citizens buy them in a way to "loan" their government to support the war effort which raises their military budget. The development of new technologies can also lead to economical prosperity.

A great example of this is the United States during the Great Depression when unemployment rates were at a all time high. Once Japan declared war on the United States, unemployment rates were back to normal due to conscription being implemented for male citizens. The females also worked in the factories creating munitions and arms for the war effort.

No, it is false that the Xiongnu became the direct ancestors of the Mongols, who ruled China up to World War I, since these were a nomadic people, and the leadership in China by then was in different hands.

wlad13 [49]

Ok, so obviously, you can tell that A. is not even an answer since his name is Prince Henry which is an English name and the Islamic empire never really reached what is now present-day U.K...B. and D. are wrong because Catholicism was in Spain and the Pope was also in Spain. So your only correct answer is C.
