Which statement best identifies a negative consequence of westward expansion in the years before the civil war? a) westward expansion led to an economic "boom" in the midwest, as new cities and markets were connected by rail and canals. b) westward expansion led to spain's declaration of war against the united states in 1898, which was one of america's costliest wars. c) westward expansion resulted in increased freedom and economic opportunities for african-americans who were fleeing slavery in the south. d) westward expansion led to loss of life and territory for native americans and added to the growing conflict between "free" and "slave" states before the civil war.

The correct answer is answer D ("Westward expansion led to loss of life and territory for Native Americans and added to the growing conflict between 'free' and 'slave' states before the Civil War").

A rise in population and economic oppurtunities equally, prompted a massive migration to the vast lands west of Mississippi that the U.S. Federal Government was presenting to be "available". In reality of course, this expansion came at the expense of the lives of the entire Native American population settled there long before. There was no "free land", just a power imbalance that would reach a peak leading to the Civil War.

Hope this cleared things up!

b) brahmans   is nomadic society

1- in bradbury's  fahrenheit 451, all books are banned and burned upon discovery. in the nazi germany, books considered to be subversive to the regime would be burned to keep the population from generating ideologies that could challenge nazism.

2- was bradbury correct in his literal interpretation of  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”? in some way, yes. when knowledge is not only limited, but also controlled, the people tied to it are led to their demise. just like in the novel, people in nazi germany who owned  subversive books were punished not only by the burning of their property, but also by the discrimination that followed after such a public form of consequence. if a person was seen being confiscated  subversive  books, they may be considered as an ally to the jews, which meant pretty much the same as being the enemy back then. because of the extreme exclusion and suffering that followed this punishment, it's almost like dying a slow death.

in this way, the phrase  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” is both literal and figurative.
