In 1820 120 thousand Native Americans lived east of the Mississippi River, by 1844 fewer than 30 thousand were left there.
As the US pushed the boundaries of its territory East and West the Native Americans suffered. President Andrew Jackson passed the Removal Act on the Congress in 1830, the bill forced Native Americans to leave the US and settle in “Indian Territory” west of the Mississippi River. Americans needed more land for white settlement, army and militia patrols supervised the tribes.
The Cherokee tribes did not agree with the bill and challenged it, thousands of federal soldiers entered the territory and forced them to relocate. It was on this moment that the “Trail of Tears” happened, Cherokees were forced to march a thousand miles into Indian Territory and about 4 thousand of them died. The Indians were not provided with adequate supplies and many died due to disease and starvation. Some estimate that close to 100 thousand Native Americans lost their lives and their homelands in the series of forced migrations that lasted through the 1840s.
Henderson, Bruce. "Who Discovered the North Pole?" Smithsonian. Smithsonian Magazine, Apr. 2009. Web. 30 Jan. 2014.SimilaritiesBoth expeditions were eventually successful.Both took over a year to completeThe two expeditions had been financed by government.The Lewis and Clark expedition started in st. Louis 1804 and ended in St. louis 1806the expedition was led by Meriweather Lewis and he was appointed by president Jefferson to Explore the Louisiana purchase because hehad been the Presidents personal secretary. Meriweather chose his friend Williiam Clark to Co-lead the expedition because he was an expert mapmaker. The main objective of the expedition was to figure out if there was a Northwest passage (an all water route to Asia).the Lewis and Clark expedition was the first american expedition to explore the Louisiana purchase and created the first reliable map of the Louisiana territory. The North pole was discovered by Robert Perry although there was another man by the name of Fredrick Cook that claimed to have discovered it there is more evidence supporting Perrys claimThe North Pole was discovered in the year 1909. Robert Perrys' expedition started in Ellesmere Island with 50 men, 246 dogs and 19 sleds.There had been 5 previous attempts by perry to reach the North Pole but they all had failed.

Answer:
Banks make a profit from interest rates.
Explanation:
The interest rate is the amount of interest that borrowers pay for the use of money over a period of time. The interest rate is expressed as a percentage of the loan amount.
The main lender is the central bank, which sets an interest rate on the currency it issues, which is the base rate for institutions that borrow from the central bank. Banks that have borrowed from the central bank must take into account the costs involved and the expected profit. For this reason, the bank's interest rate is higher than that of the central bank. The basis for borrowing for individuals and companies is the interest rate set by the bank. Should an individual or company have to sub-lend its loan, the next borrower must follow the interest rate set by the individual or company.
