    How did Native American migration differ from that of white Americans?

    • Most Native Americans migrated after being forced from their land.

    • Most Native Americans migrated south instead of West.

    • Most Native Americans migrated to reclaim their homelands, not to explore.

    • Most Native Americans migrated to cities along the Atlantic coast.

    Correct Answer
    A. Most Native Americans migrated after being forced from their land.
    Explanation
    Native American migration differed from that of white Americans because most Native Americans migrated after being forced from their land. This suggests that they did not willingly choose to migrate, but were instead displaced due to factors such as colonization, conflicts, and policies imposed by the white settlers. In contrast, white Americans often migrated voluntarily in search of new opportunities, land, or resources.

    Which reform movement caused the greatest tension between North and South?

    • The drive for temperance

    • Abolitionism

    • Women's rights

    • Discrimination against immigrants

    Correct Answer
    A. Abolitionism
    Explanation
    Abolitionism caused the greatest tension between the North and South because it directly challenged the institution of slavery. The North was largely in favor of abolition, seeing it as a moral issue and a violation of basic human rights. In contrast, the South heavily relied on slavery for their economy and way of life, and viewed any attempts to abolish it as a threat to their livelihoods and social order. This fundamental disagreement over the issue of slavery ultimately led to the secession of the Southern states and the start of the American Civil War.

    • Election of Republican Abraham Lincoln as President

    • Federal government's refusal to punish John Brown.

    • Brutal beatings of Charles Sumner in the Senate.

    • Dred Scott decision.

    Correct Answer
    A. Election of Republican Abraham Lincoln as President
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the election of Republican Abraham Lincoln as President. In 1860 and 1861, seven southern states seceded from the Union because they were unhappy with the election of Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, as President. They believed that Lincoln's anti-slavery views threatened their way of life and the institution of slavery. This eventually led to the start of the American Civil War.

    In the 1840s the phrase MANIFEST DESTINY referred to the idea that the United States would inevitably

    • Abolish slavery

    • Stretch across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific

    • Become the most powerful nation in the world

    • Spread liberty throughout the world

    Correct Answer
    A. Stretch across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific
    Explanation
    Manifest Destiny was a belief held by many Americans in the 1840s that the United States was destined to expand its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This expansion would involve stretching across North America, encompassing all the land in between. The idea was rooted in the belief that it was the United States' divine mission to spread its values, institutions, and way of life across the continent. This expansionist mindset ultimately led to the acquisition of vast territories, such as the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican Cession, and the eventual fulfillment of the goal to stretch across North America.

    • Be involved in local politics.

    • Serve as their husbands' business partners.

    • Serve as examples of republican virtues

    • Join the Female Missionary Society

    Correct Answer
    A. Serve as examples of republican virtues
    Explanation
    In the early 1800s, American women were expected to serve as examples of republican virtues. This means that they were expected to embody the values and principles of the republican form of government, such as civic duty, patriotism, and moral character. By being virtuous and upholding these values, women were seen as contributing to the success and stability of the nation. This expectation placed a significant emphasis on women's roles within society and their influence in shaping the moral fabric of the nation.
