It says that they wanted the rich land, but none of my answers relate to this. @Reed
Is it d?
That was a major reason for efforts to remove the Seminole, yes. D is the best answer here.
1. For the first question, the answer is actually option 3: "The need for unskilled labor provided low-paying factory jobs for young girls."
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the given options and assess which one best describes the impact of New England's textile industry on women.
Option 1, stating that new technologies required men to work far from their wives and families, does not directly address the impact on women specifically. It focuses more on the impact on men.
Option 2 suggests that women were not hired because the jobs in this field were considered "men's work." While this may have been true to some extent, it does not capture the overall effect on women in the industry.
Option 4, claiming that young women were paid high wages because of their weaving and sewing skills, is incorrect. In reality, the wages for women working in the textile industry were generally quite low.
Thus, option 3, stating that the need for unskilled labor provided low-paying factory jobs for young girls, is the most accurate answer. It highlights the fact that young women were indeed employed in the industry, but their work was characterized by low wages.
2. For the second question, the correct answer is option 1: "Seminole attacks on small farms."
To determine the correct answer here, we need to assess the given options and identify which one played the most significant role in white settlers' desire to have the Seminole tribe removed from Florida.
Options 2, 3, and 4 are all irrelevant in this context. A Seminole alliance with the Spanish, the Seminoles' control of the fur trade, and the Seminoles' protection of runaway slaves may all have been factors of interest, but they do not directly address the settlers' desire to have the tribe removed from Florida.
Option 1, stating that Seminole attacks on small farms, reflects a direct threat to white settlers and their property. This would likely have been a key factor in their desire to remove the Seminole tribe.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: Seminole attacks on small farms.
