Answer:

D. Land.

Explanation:

After the war, the Americans had won. But, there was a lot to be paid to soldiers and others, but America was very poor after spending lots of money to send for the war. Thus, Congress came up with a solution - give away land. They also sold away land to people who paid enough, bringing the money up.

"During the war, the United States received a lot of property from the British. So instead of paying the soldiers with money, Congress decided to give the soldiers land west of the colonies. The soldiers received different amounts of land based on their military rank and how long they served in the war. Many soldiers moved west with their families and started farms on this property. They also sold the land to settlers who paid a fair amount."

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can answer the following.

You did not specify the period or the time in American history. We are going to assume that you refer to the period following the Revolutionary War of Independence.

If that is the case, we can say that what did the U.S. government decide to sell in order to make money to pay debts was to sell bonds to rich people in the United States.

After the Revolutionary War, the government was in deep debt. European countries such as France had loaned a lot of money and sent weaponry and supplies to help the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The United States had to pay a lot of money.  However, people did not accept this idea of bonds. These bonds were sold only in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

American people were cautious to buy the bonds because to get their promised 6% interest, the first thing was that the Continental Army had to defeat the British troops and win the Revolutionary War.

How did the social and political relationship between American-born (Creoles) and Spanish-born (Peninsulares) groups help to bri
romanna [79]

Answer:

The roots of Independence

The extensive Spanish colonies in North, Central and South America (which included half of South America, present-day Mexico, Florida, islands in the Caribbean and the southwestern United States) declared independence from Spanish rule in the early nineteenth century and by the turn of the twentieth century, the hundreds of years of the Spanish colonial era had come to a close. How did this happen? The Enlightenment ideals of democracy—equality under the law, separation of church and state, individual liberty—encouraged colonial independence movements in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Enlightenment began in eighteenth-century Europe as a philosophical movement that took science, reason, and inquiry as its guiding principles in order to challenge traditions and reform society. The results of these changes in thought are reflected in both the American and French revolutions—where a monarchical form of government (where the King ruled by divine right) was replaced with a Republic empowered by the people. In Spain, the occupation by Napoleon during the Peninsular War (1808-1814) also inspired liberators to fight against foreign invaders. The examples of rebellion in the British Colonies, France, and Spain empowered Latin American revolutionaries who speculated on whether independence was a realistic and viable alternative to colonial rule. The term “Latin America” originated in the nineteenth century, when Argentinean jurist Carlos Calvo and French engineer Michel Chevalier, in reference to the Napoleonic invasion of Mexico in 1862, used the term “Latin,” referring to those whose national language—like Spanish—was derived from Latin, to denote difference from the “Anglo-Saxon” English-speaking people of North America. It was largely the creoles (pure-blooded Spaniards who were born in the Americas) who instigated the fight for liberation. Creoles remained connected to Europe through their ancestry and since they were often educated abroad, these ideas of self-determination held great appeal for them. Peninsulares (people born in Spain, but who resided in the Spanish colonies) on the other hand were more directly tied to Spain in ancestry and allegiance. In 1793, the Colombian creole Antonio Nariño, who would later serve as military general in Colombia’s struggle for independence, printed a translation of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, demonstrating the bilingual and bicultural aspect of Latin American independence. Translations of speeches made by the founding fathers of the United States, including Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, also circulated in Latin America. Not all creoles however, believed in independence and democracy—in fact, there existed an opposition of creole royalists who supported the Spanish Crown and allied themselves with the Peninsulares. Creole patriots (as opposed to the royalists) were attracted to the idea of independence and thought of themselves as Latin Americans, not as Spaniards. Despite having been born and raised in a Spanish viceroyalty to Spanish parents, they were culturally connected to Latin America. Situated at the interface of both identities, creole patriots considered themselves descendants of, but different from, the Spanish.
