When a member of Congress does what is described above, this is known as the practice of<u> Pork-Barreling </u>

<u>Pork Barreling:</u>

  • Refers to when a Member of Congress uses federal funds for projects in their district that aren't really needed
  • Is done to secure votes by pleasing voters

When these projects are founded in the district, they will create jobs for those in that district which ensures that those people will vote for the Member of Congress that brought the project.

In conclusion, this is pork-barreling.

Which best states how a section of the Missouri Compromise supported Dred Scott's argument?
dlinn [17]
<h3><em>Answer: The Missouri Compromise declared that an enslaved person gained his or her freedom upon entering a free state. In the famous Dred Scott Supreme Court case, Dred Scott was a slave who was brought into a free territory by his owner. After living there for an extended period of time and after his master passed away, Scott sued for his freedom. His argument relied on the fact that he was in a free territory and that this legally made him a free man. However, the Supreme Court justices ruled that slaves are not people. Rather, they are property and have no right to sue in court. This ruling essentially made slavery legal everywhere, delivering a huge blow to the abolitionist movement of the time.</em></h3><h3><em>I hope this helps love <3 (:</em></h3>

Which best describes the lifestyle of the Native Americans in the eastern woodland region ?
Yuliya22 [10]

B. They farmed corn, hunted, and lived in villages. <em>The indians´s lifestyle in the eastern region was simple. The Eastern Woodland Culture consisted of Indian tribes inhabiting the eastern United States and Canada. </em>

The Adena and Hopewell were the earliest historic Eastern Woodland inhabitants. They were hunters and gatherers who erected seasonal camps. They lived in villages and supplemented their diet with cultivated plants. Later peoples of the Eastern Woodlands included the Illinois, Iroquois, Shawnee and a number of Algonkian-speaking peoples. Eastern Woodland tribes´s societies were typically divided into classes (a chief, children, the nobility and commoners).

The natives were deer-hunters and farmers. The men made bows and arrows, stone knives and war clubs. The women tended garden plots where beans, corn, pumpkin, squash and tobacco were cultivated. The diet of deer meat was supplemented by shellfish.
