PLEASE HELP, AND DON'T SAY, DO YOU OWN WORK, I DID I JUST NEED THEM CHECKED!!!!!!!!!!!
got a whole exam in here..
I'm sorry, but I cannot check your work as I do not have access to your answers. However, I can provide you with explanations for each question if you'd like.
5. The answer is B. The U.S. wanted to sell the territory gained after the Mexican-American War to build railroads, and the Missouri Compromise prevented it. The Compromise of 1850 was needed to address the issue of slavery in the newly acquired territories.
To find this answer, you can analyze the information provided in the question. The Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 are both historical events related to the issue of slavery. By eliminating answer choices that do not match the historical context, you can conclude that the Compromise of 1850 was necessary due to the U.S.'s desire to sell the territory gained from the Mexican-American War.
10. The answer is B. The border of the U.S. expanded all the way to the west coast. The idea of Manifest Destiny, which was the belief that the United States was destined to expand its territory from coast to coast, drove the westward expansion.
To find this answer, you can examine the information provided in the question and match it with your knowledge of Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny promoted the idea of territorial expansion, which was achieved through the acquisition of large amounts of land, such as the Mexican Cession, ultimately leading to the U.S. expanding all the way to the west coast.
9. The answer is C. Their land was purchased by the State of Georgia for a small sum. The Cherokee were forced onto the Trail of Tears because their land was taken by the State of Georgia through a series of actions that disregarded previous treaties and forcibly removed them from their ancestral lands.
To find this answer, you can recall the history of the Cherokee and their forced removal. The State of Georgia wanted the Cherokee land for agricultural purposes and enacted policies to forcibly remove them, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears.
11. The answer is D. It had very little impact on trade, since the area gained was mountainous. The outcome of the Mexican-American War and the acquisition of the Mexican Cession did not significantly impact trade, as the acquired land was mainly mountainous and not suitable for extensive trade routes.
To find this answer, you can analyze the information provided in the question and apply your understanding of the geography of the Mexican Cession. The presence of mountains would pose challenges to building and maintaining trade routes, resulting in limited impact on trade.
15. The answer is C. The Gadsden Purchase. The Gadsden Purchase was an agreement between the United States and Mexico to adjust the border and acquire additional land for the purpose of building a southern transcontinental railroad. It settled the outstanding debts and issues that were not resolved by the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo.
To find this answer, you can identify the key events and agreements related to the acquisition of land after the Mexican-American War. The Gadsden Purchase is a historical event that satisfies the criteria for settling unresolved debts.
16. The answer is A. Mexico originally owned the land, so the cultures of Americans, Mexicans, and Native Americans were all present in the West. The West was considered a "crossroads of culture" because it was originally owned by Mexico, and the settlement of Americans, Mexicans, and Native Americans led to a blend of diverse cultures in the region.
To find this answer, you can analyze the information provided in the question and use your knowledge of the historical context. The West was a region of cultural interactions due to its previous ownership by Mexico and subsequent settlement by various groups.
17. The answer is B. Americans thought they should spread their culture and ideals. The concept of Manifest Destiny emerged from a belief held by many Americans during the 19th century that they had a divine obligation to expand their culture, ideas, and institutions across the continent.
To find this answer, you can evaluate the information provided in the question and match it with your understanding of the concept of Manifest Destiny. The belief in spreading American culture and ideals was a fundamental component of the concept.
19. The answer is B. The canals and railroads were designed to pass through areas well suited for towns. Towns and cities were built around railroads and canals because these transportation networks required regular stops and services, making areas along their routes suitable for urban development.
To find this answer, you can evaluate the information provided in the question and apply your understanding of why towns and cities often emerged near transportation infrastructures. Railroads and canals served as economic arteries, attracting settlement and facilitating trade, thus making areas along their routes suitable for the development of towns and cities.
