Answer:

the discovery of gold - contributed to the westward expansion, especially to California, during the California gold rush of 1849. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants, both from the U.S. and abroad, arrived in California in this period, lured by the prospect of finding untapped wealth, and even after the gold ran out, many of the stayed, contributing to the ensuing population of the rest of California and the Western U.S.

the quest for land, wealth, and adventure - most of the first settlers in the Western U.S. were adventurers, explorers, hunters, fur traders, and mountain men, who entered this new and unexplored territory in the search for land, wealth and adventure.

increased immigration - during the second half of the nineteenth century, immigration to the United States increased dramatically, and many of them settled in the Western part of the country, where they could purchase cheaper land.

the Homestead Act - this act provided for land grants to anyone who had not born arms against the United States. The person granted the land had to cultivate it and improve it in exchange. This benefited hundreds of thousands of farmers, who mostly settled west of the Mississippi River.

Mrrafil [7]
<span>Executive Order 9066 clearly contradicts Theodore Roosevelt's statements about race, creed, color, or national origin. Because of the Executive Order 9066, Japanese Americans were relocated to Internment Camps through the War Relocation Authority. It was because Americans were fearful that Japanese Americans were still loyal to Japan during World War II and many Americans feared that they could be spies for the Japanese Empire. By placing them into Internment Camps we were able to keep tabs on them. During the 1980s, the government actually paid reparations to Japanese people that were still alive from the Internment Camps.</span>

Read the paragraph that first mentions Aristotle. What do you think the word political means in the sentence? Why did Aristotle
Oduvanchick [21]

Hello. You did not show the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to execute an answer exactly. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Aristoteles refers to everything that is political as something that was responsible for promoting the general and collective good. For this reason, it is likely that the text to which your question refers, exposes this type of meaning, since it was an intrinsic thought of Aristoteles.

He used this word in his writings to expound his thoughts on how society should be managed and how communities should be structured and maintained by its members.
