How did the Indian Removal Act of 1830 go against the Worcester v. Georgia ruling?
(1 point)
• It extended a military campaign against Native American peoples who had farm land.
• It nullified all previous treaties that protected the interests of Georgians against Cherokees.
• It was a law banning Native American groups from owning land within the borders of any U.S. state.
• It ignored that fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 went against the Worcester v. Georgia ruling in two ways. First, it extended a military campaign against Native American peoples who had farm land, disregarding the ruling which recognized Native American sovereignty and their right to their lands. Second, it nullified all previous treaties that protected the interests of Georgians against Cherokees, contradicting the ruling that upheld the validity of those treaties.
Pick the correct answer
The correct answer is:
• It ignored the fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.
The completion of the Erie Canal spurred the first great westward movement of American settlers, gave access to the rich land and resources west of the Appalachians, and made
New York is the preeminent commercial city in the United States.
The effect of the Canal was both immediate and dramatic, and settlers poured west. The explosion of trade prophesied by Governor Clinton began, spurred by freight rates from Buffalo to New York of $10 per ton by Canal, compared with $100 per ton by road. In 1829, 3,640 bushels of wheat were transported down the Canal from Buffalo. By 1837
this figure had increased to 500.000 bushels; years later, it reached one million. In nine years. Canal tolls more than recouped the entire cost of construction.
Within 15 years of the Canal's opening, New York was the busiest port in America, moving tonnages more significant than Boston, Baltimore, and New Orleans combined.

How did the economic success of the Erie Canal impact westward expansion?
(1 point)
• There was an increased demand for laborers to help build canals similar to those in the West.
• There was less competition in the West because it was sparsely populated compared to the East.
• The canal system eliminated many of the jobs in the East, forcing people to the West.
• There were more economic opportunities in the West due to the success of the canal system.
The economic success of the Erie Canal impacted westward expansion by creating more economic opportunities in the West. This is evident from the passage, which states that the Canal gave access to the rich land and resources west of the Appalachians, and that settlers poured west as a result of the explosion of trade. The passage also mentions the significant increase in tonnage and trade in New York, indicating the economic growth and opportunities brought about by the Canal. Therefore, the correct answer is:
• There were more economic opportunities in the West due to the success of the canal system.
Which of the following best describes how settlers traveled west?
(1 point)
• Some settlers loaded their animals and wagons on flatboats to float down rivers.
• Many settlers traveled along with Daniel Boone across Lake Ontario to the Gateway to the West.
• Most African Americans were given their freedom so they could help clear the trails for other settlers.
• Settlers from New England traveled south to take over plantations in Georgia and Alabama.
The answer is:
• Some settlers loaded their animals and wagons on flatboats to float down rivers.
How did the invention of the steam engine affect transportation?
(1 point)
O Robert Fulton's invention of the steam-powered locomotive made travel across land much quicker.
• Henry Shreve's modified steamboat could carry more without getting stuck on the riverbed.
• John Fitch's steam engine made travel along the river faster, but it was more expensive.
• DeWitt Clinton's invention was faster, but people preferred to travel along the rutted roads.
The correct answer is:
• Robert Fulton's invention of the steam-powered locomotive made travel across land much quicker.
It began as an unconnected series of trails used by Native Americans. Fur Traders expanded the route to transport pelts to trading posts and rendezvous. In the 183Us, missionaries followed the still faint trail along the Platte River and the Snake to establish church connections in the Northwest. Economic and political events in the 1840s converged to start a large-scale west migration on what was then known as "The Oregon Road." Joel Walker is credited as the first settler to make the complete trip with a family in 1840. Large-scale migration started in 1843 when a wagon train of over 800 people with 120 wagons and 5,000 cattle made the five-month journey. In 1847, Mormons escaping persecution headed toward Salt Lake, and the discovery of gold in California in 1848 sent a wave of fortune seekers west. Military posts, trading posts, shortcuts, and spur roads sprang off the Oregon Trail over the next three decades.
