Cattle drives in the western United States largely ended in the late 1800s due primarily to a combination of barbed-wire fences and the new convenience of the railroad.
I believe that this is an opinion question that only you can answer
Prior to Maine admission to the union as a free state, how many states were in the northern section of the country
Answer:
11 States
Explanation:
In 1820 before Maine was admitted to the union as a free state, there were 22 states with half of them free states and half of them slave states. Also, both South and North having eleven states each.
Thus, on March 3, 1820, the votes that allowed the Maine into the Union as a free state was conducted in the House, and at the same time, Missouri was admitted as a slave state, and also made free soil all western territories north of Missouri’s southern border.
Hence, the correct answer is Eleven (11) states
People started moving towards the South in the second half of the 20th century mostly for economic reasons. Southern states had cheaper standards of living and you could find a home easier and a job. The expenses were not as high as they were in the northern countries, mostly those in the north eastern part of the US.
