Kings ruled by divine right
The answer is A. They were actually never found, they just....disappeared. There was a theory behind their disappearance as well.
After achieving independence with the Treaty of Paris<span>, the United States expanded westward, enlarging its borders seven times, with two major border adjustments, one each with colonies of the </span>United Kingdom<span> and </span>Spain<span>, and several small disputes. The original thirteen states grew into fifty </span>states, most of which began asincorporated territories<span>. The general pattern seen in this is of territorial expansion, carving of </span>organized territories<span> from the newly acquired land, modification of the borders of these territories, and eventual statehood. Only two states, </span>Nevada<span> and </span>Missouri<span>, grew appreciably after statehood, and five, </span>Georgia<span>, </span>Massachusetts,North Carolina<span>, </span>Texas<span>, and </span>Virginia<span>, lost land, in each case to form new states.</span>
