Westward expansion profoundly changed American society. As the nation grew, more people looked west in order to obtain cheaper land. Once there, they developed communities with stores and professional positions, such as blacksmiths and lawyers, many of these Western towns were some of the fastest growing places in the United States. These people in the West also aspired to own manufactured goods, and the United States was beginning to get into the Industrial Revolution after the Revolutionary War.
Before the war and immediately thereafter, American manufacturing was considered secondary to British work. After the war, Americans looked to develop their own manufacturing as a way to grow industries at home and also as a source of national pride. More people would work in American factories in the period leading up to the Civil War and after the war this number would increase significantly with more European immigration.
Most of the factory jobs were in the North, but in order to facilitate transportation of raw materials and finished products, the US government undertook a program of internal improvements called the American System which improved railroads and canals in most of the United States. This benefited the West as it made transportation of goods and people easier; it also benefited Americans as a whole, as American manufacturing increased and new jobs were being created.
Answer:
d.
Explanation:
When there is a price increase, all the prices go up, so if you are thinking about changing what you buy, its actually useless because all the products had the same price increase. What actually changes is the amount of money you need to buy certain things. If Michelle payed 700 dollars in rent for her apartment and now they increase it to 900, she will have to find a place where the rent is 700 dollars, which probably will be a smaller apartment or maybe in a worst neighborhood. What changes with price increase is related to the fact that you don't make more money when the price increases, so you have to find worst solution with the same amount you used to spend.
