History
1 answer:
Sati [7]3 years ago
4 0

It was a compromise created during the Constitutional Convention which moved the capital closer to the southern states so they could be better represented and in return, the Federal government would assume the state debt from the Revolutionary War.

To create Washington DC, both Virginia and Maryland had to cede land to provide the space for the capital city to be created. The city sits between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers and was created to showcase the capital at its center. George Washington was given the duty to choose the exact spot for the new capital city and oversaw the construction of the capital.

Consider the following statement: The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important factor leading to the settlement of Alaska
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Yes. The support of non-Native Alaskans was an important factor which lead to the settlement of Alaska Native land claims. It is consistent with the evidence presented in this learning block.

Explaination:

The non-Natives Alaskans knew how the Natives Alaskans were dealt with in the Southeastern United States. They learnt from their mistakes so took a different approach when dealing with the natives from Alaska. The U.S. Courts were more sympathetic towards the natives due to past history. The federal government was in favor to help the native which was not so in the past.
