Explanation:

the main reason the US expanded its influence in the foreign countries was because in the late 1800's industrialization made it to where the US needed to trade with other countries. manufacturers spent money making factories with assembly lines, but there were big companies which often produced more products than the American people could buy. Sales from American Goods to foreign countries was important to the workers in the US because workers would be out of jobs if the companies were out of business, companies depend on overseas sales to keep their businesses going, and workers depend on overseas sales to keep their jobs.

How did the president of the united states persuade congress to declare war?

Marianna [84]

Answer:

President Woodrow Wilson asks Congress to send U.S. troops into battle against Germany in World War I. In his address to Congress that day, Wilson lamented it is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war. Four days later, Congress obliged and declared war on Germany.

In February and March 1917, Germany, embroiled in war with Britain, France and Russia, increased its attacks on neutral shipping in the Atlantic and offered, in the form of the so-called Zimmermann Telegram, to help Mexico regain Texas, New Mexico and Arizona if it would join Germany in a war against the United States. The public outcry against Germany buoyed President Wilson in asking Congress to abandon America’s neutrality to make the world safe for democracy.

What was the impact of the dred scott case in dividing the nation?

ohaa [14]

The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case was monumental in America, as it stated that slaves had no rights which their owners were bound to respect. Along with this, it also stated that slaves are property and can be brought into free states.

This case causes significant divide between the nation. The southern states and those individuals with slaves see this as a victory, as they can now take their slaves wherever they want without the fear of these individuals becoming free men. On the other hand, abolitionists and states who outlawed slavery are furious. This is because they now have to allow slave owners to keep their slaves in a state where they do not want slavery. This case resulted in a bigger divide between those for slavery and those against slavery.
