Answer:

Regarding internal borders, while territories could shift wildly in size, once established states have generally retained their initial borders. Only four states—Maine, Kentucky, Vermont, and West Virginia—have been created from land claimed by another state; all of the others were created from territories or directly from acquisitions. Four states—Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, and Pennsylvania—have expanded significantly by acquiring additional federal territory after their initial admission to the Union. The last state of the contiguous United States, commonly called the "lower 48", was admitted in 1912; the fiftieth and most recent state was admitted in 1959.

This area today makes up the states of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Daniel Boone led settlers across the Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from the French for $15 million. The Westward expansion was brought about by the increasing number of population as well as the need to acquire more land to farm and produce crops.

Tourism is the _______ industry in the world.
OleMash [197]
This is really hard to estimate, as it's not exactly perfectly clear which parts of economy are tourism (which of the transportations? are museums tourism or education?)  and we have only estimates. Some of the estimates I have seen judge tourism to be only 6th ot 7th industry (but none of the options propose this!), but others say that it's third, so I'd go with a) - but definitely not c) or b). First is still food (agriculture, farming, etc)<span />

Which Progressive reforms gave citizens more political powers?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Progressive reformers made the first comprehensive effort within the American context to address the problems that arose with the emergence of a modern urban and industrial society. The U.S. population nearly doubled between 1870 and 1900. Urbanization and immigration increased at rapid rates and were accompanied by a shift from local small-scale manufacturing and commerce to large-scale factory production and colossal national corporations. Technological breakthroughs and frenzied searches for new markets and sources of capital caused unprecedented economic growth. From 1863 to 1899, manufacturing production rose by more than 800 percent. But that dynamic growth also generated profound economic and social ills that challenged the decentralized form of republican government that characterized the United States.
