Answer 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • The institution of slavery was marked by increasingly sharp regional variations, reflecting the impact of cotton cultivation on local economies.


  • At the same time, the contours of an African American culture emerged.


  • This culture had certain characteristics regardless of place.


  • As U.S. military strength and nationalistic pride grew, southern planters imposed a harsher, more regimented system of slavery on the black population.



Answer 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Innovations in transportation broke down barriers of distance between farms and towns and the West and the East.


  • New forms of production, most notably the factory, led to increased production and greater efficiency.


  • Wage earning replaced older labor models.


  • Together, all of these rapid economic transformations in the early nineteenth century fueled the Market Revolution.



Answer 3

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • New Englanders saw the War of 1812 as a mistake and a threat to their regional commercial interests.


  • Delegates from the New England states gathered in Hartford in December 1814 to consider a course of action.


  • The delegates demanded that the federal government give their states financial aid to compensate for the revenue they had lost as a result of disrupted trade.


  • Some delegates hinted at secession.


  • Few delegates wanted to act on this threat immediately, most wanted simply to keep the option open.



Answer 4

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Like many of the war hawks, Clay was a Westerner.


  • He was committed to the expansion of the boundaries of the United States.


  • Like other war hawks, he engaged in aggressive and overheated rhetoric.


  • He also agreed with other war hawks that Native Americans were an inferior and irredeemable race.


  • Clay agitated for a war with Britain. He believed such a war would eliminate both the British threat to American trade on the high seas and the Canada-based IndianBritish alliance.



Answer 5

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • The expedition was commissioned by President Jefferson to explore the upper reaches of the newly acquired Louisiana Territory.


  • The expedition had a scientific purpose, which was to document anything of natural, cultural, or geographic interest.


  • Jefferson also commissioned the expedition to look for a northwestern waterway passage to the Pacific Coast.


  • Finally, the expedition was to negotiate with Indian groups to pave the way for miners and ranchers to move west.


  • While the expedition failed to find the desired waterway, it largely met its other objectives.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
