Please check your textbok or other sources before you post so many wrong answers.
i have consulted my textbook and other websites.
from your website, would #1 be c? and #2 should be a, and for #3, only a fits the question for me.
unless it is d, but the erie canal connected to the hudson river which connected to New York City, so wouldn't there be growth in New York City as a result of the erie canal?
Not likely
did you check my other answers?
Yes. 1 is C.
2. Check these sites.

3. Western settlement at the time of the Erie Canal meant settlement in western New York and Ohio and points west. New England didn't have enough good agricultural to ship most farm products. New York City's growth had little to do with the Erie Canal.
1. To determine the correct answer for question 1, we need to evaluate each option.
a. Settling the Maine boundary: Andrew Jackson is not typically associated with settling the Maine boundary. This option is unlikely.
b. Annexing Texas: Andrew Jackson served as President from 1829 to 1837, and Texas was annexed in 1845, after his presidency. This option is incorrect.
c. Opening trade with the British West Indies: Andrew Jackson focused more on domestic policies and expanding American influence in the Western Hemisphere. This option is unlikely.
d. Purchasing Florida: This is the correct answer. As a diplomat and military leader, Andrew Jackson played a significant role in the acquisition of Florida from Spain through the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. Purchasing Florida.
2. For question 2, we need to identify the option that does NOT explain why the textile factory spread into New England.
a. Arrival of Samuel Slater: Samuel Slater, a skilled British mechanic, introduced the spinning and weaving machinery to the United States, which helped establish the textile industry in New England. This option supports the spread of the textile factories.
b. Enterprise of Moses Brown: Moses Brown was a prominent entrepreneur who invested in the textile industry in New England. This option also supports the spread of the textile factories.
c. Abundance of all essential raw materials: New England had ample supplies of essential raw materials like cotton, wool, and water resources, which were vital for the textile industry. This option also supports the spread of the textile factories.
d. Presence of rapid rivers: This option is incorrect. The presence of rapid rivers, such as the Merrimack River, provided a significant source of water power for operating the machinery in the textile factories. Therefore, it does explain the spread of the textile factories.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. Presence of rapid rivers.
3. In question 3, we have to identify the option that was NOT stimulated by the construction of the Erie Canal.
a. Western settlement: The Erie Canal, completed in 1825, provided a direct water route from the Great Lakes to the Hudson River, which accelerated western expansion and settlement. This option is NOT the correct answer.
b. Growth of New York City: The construction of the Erie Canal increased trade and transportation, turning New York City into a major center for commerce. This option is NOT the correct answer.
c. New England agriculture: With the opening of the Erie Canal, agricultural goods from New England could be easily transported to the growing markets in the Midwest, which stimulated New England agriculture. This option is NOT the correct answer.
d. Canal building: The construction of the Erie Canal itself may have stimulated later canal-building projects in the United States, as it demonstrated the economic benefits of a well-developed canal system. This option is the correct answer as it represents the canal construction activity rather than an effect of the Erie Canal.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. Canal building.
Hope this explanation helps!
