tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answers about the Indian Removal Act's goals are: it was a way to free up land for white settlers to move onto (B) and also to keep white settlers from living alongside American Indians (E).

Since the beginning of the XIXth century, <u>European Americans were trying to expand into Alabama and Mississippi present territories</u>. This Act made it possible "within reasonable terms" to acquire Indian lands.

The Act was also based on President Jackson's arguments that the existence of an independent Indian nation within a state's borders was absurd and that was <u>safer for Indians to live away from the whites because otherwise their land would be repeatedly invaded and their lives destroyed</u>.

Jackson's and later Van Buren's Indian policy was strongly opposed and became one of the most intense debates of American politics of that century.

In the 1800s, the westward expansion was one of the greatest driving forces of American society. To own land and to work on it was the symbol of freedom thus it was everyone's goal. The potential that a frontier had within itself due to possible expansion represented the promises of America back then.

I believe the answer is <span>because the mickey mouse brand is constitutionally protected under judicial review. Mickey mouse deserves a copyright because it is a way to protect the person who created it and the corporation who used it. It also can be used as a case to protect other businesses and designers. </span>

Chapter 2 of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: American Slave. After the discussion, you will reflect on the experien
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Douglass states that Mr Covey gave him "very severe whipping, cutting my back..." This line is great evidence that supports the mean idea as it shows how slaves are treated worse than animals even. The rest of the passage provides various scenarios, all leading up to the main idea. Douglass states that he has "marks visible for a long time after." This further brings up the inexcusable actions that were done to the slaves. Animals may be treated badly from time to time but the slaves were constantly victims to lashings of anger.

Paragraph 2:

(I don't have the actual passage so i can't give evidence sorry, just put some quotes in alongside it)

The hypocrisy came from the people who slaved to the slaves. Religiously, not many people agreed on it , however, it still thrived due to the different variations in the religious beliefs. People that appeared 'religious' and that were wealthy could do anything with the slaves and no one would object because after all they were religious.
