Question 2

The women who worked in the new mills in Lowell and Waltham

Accepted Answer

The women who worked in the new mills saw the opportunity to work as a chance to improve their lives. They were able to earn money and become more independent, which was seen as a positive change for many of them. While they may not have considered factory work a stepping stone to careers and lifelong independence (choice E), they did see it as an opportunity to better their current circumstances.

Question 3

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the typical pioneer settlers?

Accepted Answer

The other answer choices are all characteristics of typical pioneer settlers, while being wild and restless individualists is not. Pioneer settlers often migrated as families for support and safety, craved sociability for community and assistance, sought stability and security in the midst of the unknown, and tended to cluster with people who shared similar backgrounds or experiences. While individualism was valued in pioneer culture, being overly wild and restless went against the idea of settling down and creating a stable community.

Question 8

As pioneers moved westward between 1790 and 1820, where did they tend to settle?

Accepted Answer

Pioneers tended to settle along rivers and with people from the same region back East because rivers provided transportation and trade opportunities, and settling with people from the same region created a sense of community and familiarity. Urban areas and railroad lines were not yet established in most of the West during this time period, and desolate plains or isolated forests were difficult places to establish a successful settlement.

Accepted Answer

The population movement during this time was primarily from the eastern areas of the United States, such as the Atlantic coast and New England, to the western areas beyond the Appalachians, including the Old Northwest (current Midwest region) and Southwest. This was driven by factors such as the availability of fertile land, economic opportunities, and the westward expansion of the United States.

Question 16

During the first half of the 1800s, free blacks in the North

Accepted Answer

Free blacks in the North faced a variety of challenges during the first half of the 1800s. Many northern states passed laws banning black migration across their borders, limiting their opportunities to seek better lives elsewhere. Free blacks also faced discrimination in education, healthcare, and the criminal justice system, with many public schools, hospitals, and jails segregating black and white individuals. Additionally, free blacks were often relegated to the lowest-paid and least-skilled jobs, further limiting their social mobility. All of these factors contributed to the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the northern United States.
