d American territory?
He sent thousands of troops to disputed territory to create conflict.

He made it clear that expanding enslavement was his main goal as president.

On May 12, 1846, the United States Senate voted 40 to 2 to go to war with Mexico. President James K. Polk had accused Mexican troops of having attacked Americans on U.S. soil, north of the Rio Grande. But Mexico claimed this land as its own territory and accused the American military of having invaded.

How did the peloponnesian war differ from earlier conflicts in greece
raketka [301]
Hey there!
The Peloponnesian war was a war fought between the Delian League, led by Athens, and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta.
It was different from other conflicts like the Persian Wars because there was no outside conflict. It was a conflict between the two Greek "Superpowers" and they both felt like it was necessary to gain an edge over the other. 
After fighting this war, Sparta was victorious. However, it left the entirety of Greece weak. Philip II of Macedonia took advantage of this, and conquered Greece.
Hope this helps!

What right does the ninth amendment protect
gayaneshka [121]
The 9th Amendment was put there in order to guarantee that the government would not infringe natural rights just because they weren't already mentioned in the Constitution. Free speech, freedom of religion, and self-defense are natural rights, and if they hadn't already been mentioned, they would be guaranteed by this amendment. 

<span>It is interesting to think of other rights which this amendment guarantees. For instance, the right to eat or ingest whatever we choose. The right to bear children. The right to travel freely on public lands. The right to keep the fruits of our labor. The right to privacy. The right to pursue any occupation we desire, without hindrance. The right to barter in trade. The right to seek any medical treatment we choose. </span>

<span>This is a very valuable amendment, and one which stands in our defense against all kinds of possible abuses by government.</span>

Olin [163]

Answer:

temperance, woman's suffrage, and anti-slavery

Explanation:

A desire to reform the U.S. arose out of the Second Great Awakening. The U.S. temperance and abolitionist movements were both greatly influenced by the revival movement and its messages. The temperance movement encouraged people to abstain from consuming alcoholic drinks in order to preserve family order. The abolition movement fought to abolish slavery in the United States. The women's rights movement grew from female abolitionists who realized that they too could fight for their own political rights.
