  • 2. 

    The main reason for the rapid settlement of the Great Plains was

    • Free land

    • Cash incentives

    • The buffalo slaughter

    • Agricultural inventions

    Correct Answer
    A. Free land
    Explanation
    The main reason for the rapid settlement of the Great Plains was the availability of free land. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided individuals with the opportunity to claim up to 160 acres of land for free, as long as they improved it and lived on it for a certain period of time. This attracted many people, including immigrants and farmers, who were looking for new opportunities and a chance to own their own land. The promise of free land incentivized settlers to move to the Great Plains and played a significant role in the rapid settlement of the region.

    The push for Native Americans to adopt European ways of life was

    • Maturation

    • Displacement

    • Assimiliation

    • Reintegration

    Correct Answer
    A. Assimiliation
    Explanation
    The push for Native Americans to adopt European ways of life was assimilation. This means that there was a strong effort to make Native Americans conform to European cultural norms, values, and practices. This often involved forcing Native Americans to abandon their own traditions, languages, and religions, and instead adopt European customs and beliefs. Assimilation was seen as a way to "civilize" Native Americans and make them more like the European settlers.

  • 4. 

    All these contributed to the cattle industry boom except

    • Railroads

    • Higher beef demand

    • The Chisholm Trail

    • The Oregon Trail

    Correct Answer
    A. The Oregon Trail
    Explanation
    The Oregon Trail is not a factor that contributed to the cattle industry boom. The Oregon Trail was primarily used by pioneers and settlers to migrate to the western United States during the 19th century. It was not directly related to the cattle industry or the transportation of cattle. On the other hand, railroads played a crucial role in the cattle industry boom by providing a faster and more efficient means of transporting cattle to markets. The Chisholm Trail was a major cattle trail that facilitated the movement of cattle from Texas to Kansas, while higher beef demand also drove the growth of the cattle industry.

  • 5. 

    The collaps of the Populist Party was most influenced by the

    • Panic of 1893

    • Defeat of Bryan

    • Free silver policy

    • Gold bug Democrats

    Correct Answer
    A. Defeat of Bryan
    Explanation
    The collapse of the Populist Party was most influenced by the defeat of Bryan. This is because Bryan was the party's presidential candidate in the 1896 election, and his loss signaled a significant blow to the party's momentum and support. Bryan's defeat meant that the Populist Party was unable to gain sufficient political power and influence, leading to its decline and eventual collapse. Without a strong leader like Bryan, the party struggled to maintain its relevance and attract voters, ultimately leading to its demise.
