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>

The correct answer is the following.

The territorial boundaries of the United States in the 1800s correspond with moderns states borders after the territorial expansion that happened from 1790 to 1850.

Many members of the US government believed that the westward expansion was a necessity for the new nation to prosper. So in 1803, ordered the purchase of the Louisiana territory to the French. This action doubled the size of the country. Then, colonizers moved to the West to the Plains, where they encounter the logical resistance of the Native American Tribes that lived there, in what today is the territory of Oklahoma. The US government had to pass the Homestead Act of 1862 that gave 160 acres of land for people to work the land and make it productive. Another factor for the territorial expansion happened during the California Golden Rush from 1848 to 1855. That is how the territorial boundaries of the United States in the 1800s correspond with moderns states borders after the territorial expansion took place.

What did the three authors Edward Bellamy, Henry George, and Thorstein Veblen have in common?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

B. They all believed that the industrial age was bad for America

Explanation:

The industrialization in the United States had a lot of supporters, including ordinary people, authors, politicians, as it seems that it leads the country in a good direction. There were also critics to the industrialization, such as Edward Bellamy, Henry George, and Thorstein Velben. Even though the three of them had different ideas, they all had something in common, which was seeing the industrial age as a bad thing to the United States. The reason for this was mostly that they didn't liked the development of capitalism, as they thought that it will create a very large gap between the few rich and all the rest, thus shift the power only in the hands of few people. They were much more fond of the ideas of the socialism, and they thought that the socialism will create a much more equal and fair environment for the development and well being of everyone.
