The correct answer is C. The cost of shipping goods from the Midwest decreased.

Explanation:

The Erie Canal was a man-made construction that connected New York state and territories in the Midwest including those near the Great Lakes. This canal was created at the beginning of the 19th century and helped the economy of the United States because it facilitated the transportation of goods between different territories. This implied products from the Midwest could be transported to the states in the east and this decreased the costs for shipping goods from the zones in the midwest. Moreover, the trade between the states involved increased. According to this, the correct answer is C.

Which of the following describes Abraham Lincoln's attitude towards states' rights at the beginning of his first term?

butalik [34]

He believed it was essential for the Union that states maintain strong, autonomous state governments.
If the states were enfeebled, then discord would grow between them even more and people would not be fond of the federation as they would feel it was foisting unjust laws on them.
I hope this helps, and my apologies if it somehow is incorrect.

Question help the united states was sometimes called the "world's largest debtor" because

FromTheMoon [43]

Foreign investors owned a greater amount US stocks, bonds, and factories than investors in the US owned of assets in foreign markets.

In 1985, the New York Times reported, "U.S. Turns into Debtor Nation," because a Commerce Department report showed the US "owing foreigners more then they owe it." By that they meant that "foreign ownership of American factories, real estate, stocks and bonds exceeded American ownership of foreign assets."
However, there's another way to look at this picture than the "debtor nation" label. The Heritage Foundation (a conservative group) noted in 1985 that having foreign investors pursuing assets in the United States indicated strong confidence by those investors in the American economy. You invest in a country's assets because you think those assets will grow in value. So, becoming a "debtor nation" can be viewed as a sign of economic health in the eyes of the rest of the world.
