At the beginning of the 19th century Oregon County included the present states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana, Wyoming and British Columbia.

On 18th January, 1803, President Thomas Jefferson requested permission from Congress to explore the vast lands to the west of the Mississippi. Jefferson claimed that there were "great supplies of fur and peltry" to be obtained from the Native Americans living in this area. He argued that the expedition would provide opportunities for "extending the external commerce of the United States".

The following month Congress approved the venture that became known as the Corps of Discovery. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were co-commander of the expedition. On 23rd September, 1806, the party arrived back at St. Louis. The 28 month expedition produced a considerable body of data concerning the topographical features of the county and its natural resources.

In the 1830s some American politicians began to argue that the United States should absorb all of North America. Lewis Linn, the senator for Missouri, called for the British to be pushed out of Oregon. In an attempt to persuade Americans to settle in Oregon he introduced a bill into the Senate granting free land as a reward for those prepared to travel across the Rocky Mountains to claim it. Other politicians argued that this legislation would result in a war with Britain and the bill was defeated.

There were several reasons why people were willing to risk the long journey to Oregon. Emigrants stressed the importance of escaping from the fever-infested swamps of Missouri and Mississippi. Francis Parkman, who interviewed a large number of emigrants and claimed that many mentioned a desire to escape from unpleasant weather conditions: "The bad climate seems to have been the motive that has induced many of them to set out."

Stories also circulated about the high quality of the crops that could be grown in Oregon. Potential emigrants were told that wheat "grew as tall as a man, with each stalk sprouting seven kernels", clover was so dense that the "farmer could barely get into the field to harvest it" and turnips were "five feet tall". In the years between 1840 and 1848 an estimated 11,512 migrated overland to Oregon Trail.

In 1848 Congress established the Oregon Territory. It was admitted as the 33rd state on 14th February, 1859. Over the next few years it became a leading producer of nuts, wheat, hay, oats and potatoes.

Nady [450]
The ems dispatch was edited without adding or changing words, it was only reduced by eliminating some words, which in the end, according to Bismarck, the difference in the effect was not the result of stronger words, but of the form, what made the telegram seem stronger and decisive, while the original version would only have been considered as an unfinished negotiation.

Absolute monarchy is most similar to which other system of government
GalinKa [24]

Answer

The correct answer is option C.

Absolute monarchy is most similar to the Dictatorship form of the government.

Explanation

Absolute monarchy is referred to the monarchial form of government in which the monarch exercises the supreme powers to head and govern the state in the manner in which one wants.  A dictator in a much similar manner like the monarch exercise powers and authorities to control the state in an unfettered manner which is not challenged by the law and the Constitution of the country.

Further Explanation

The authority of both monarch and dictator cannot be challenged by the law and the constitution of the country. Thus the similarity between the monarchic and dictatorial form of government lies on the fact that an individual exercises an absolute control of the country and they are unaccountable for their rule and the policies.  

The difference however lies on the fact that in the monarchy form of government the powers are transferred and inherited mainly among the members of the country. On the other hand a dictator assumes the control and rule of the people by power and force and it is further maintained by terror, suppression or intimidation to keep them unchallenged.  

Further all the remaining options vest some amount of control and powers in the hands of the people of the country which does not seems to happen in the rule of an absolute monarchy or a dictator.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Davy Crockett was a backwoodsman from Tennessee. His skill as a hunter and storyteller helped get him elected to three terms in Congress. But when he started his first

political campaign, Crockett was doubtful about his chances of winning. “The thought

of having to make a speech made my knees feel mighty weak and set my heart to fluttering.” Fortunately for Crockett, the other candidates spoke all day and tired out the

audience. “When they were all done,” Crockett boasted, “I got up and told some laughable story, and quit. . . . I went home, and didn’t go back again till after the election was

over.” In the end, Crockett won the election by a wide margin.
