...In what ways did the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition have an impact on westward expansion and how did Jefferson's message to Congress (1803) show his vision for the new republic? The reasons why the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis Clark Expedition had an impact on the westward expansion, including the reasons why Thomas Jefferson arranged the journey, a summary of his vision for the new republic (Jefferson’s Secret Message) and the outcome of his vision as it relates to the Westward Expansion. “The portion of their country most important for us is exactly that which they do not inhabit. Their settlements are not on the Mississippi, but in the interior country. They have lately shown a desire to become agricultural; and this leads to the desire of buying implements and comforts. In the strengthening and gratifying of these wants, I see the only prospect of planting on the Mississippi itself, the means of its own safety. Duty has required me to submit these views to the judgment of the Legislature; but as their disclosure might embarrass and defeat their effect, they are committed to the special confidence of the two Houses.” (Jefferson, 1803) Taken from Thomas Jefferson’s Secret Message to Congress of 1803. This excerpt introduces the vision of Thomas...

Central American canal was built which allowed faster connection to Asian markets and helped the US. Navy to transfer between two oceans much easier and effective (Hewitt, Lawson 630). The other canal-Panama Canal was under American control as well, which was opened to sea traffic (Hewitt, Lawson). Wars were a big chance for expansion by increasing economics. In Cuba, they had a perfect opportunity to develop their market by using precious resources. Also, Conquer the Philippines, has grown the expansion, by good geographical connection with China. All in all, I would say that the wars were the first and the most important steps that allowed the US. to take next steps to become premier world power. • Compare and contrast the foreign policies of Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson and explain how they impacted (supported or detracted from) American expansion?...

...After the Louisiana purchased, the American territory doubled leaving the early pioneers a vastly unexplored county. Although most people agree that American legends, such as Davy Crockett, Mike Fink and James Bowie embodied the the spirit of western expansion, there is disagreement on whether their stories had a significant impact on western expansion. While some argue that these tales had no impact, because they seemed outlandish. it is most reasonable to believe that the tales of American heros played a key role in western expansion; by prompting patriotic exploration, providing a common enemy, and promoting a political agenda. Stories inspire us and give us something to aspire to. Tell about Lions of the West Often newspapers and plays would tell the stories of American Heroes such as Davy Crockett, Mike Fink, and James Bowie. Although they were generally Frot with danger, those stories of frontier legends were spectacular and usually ended well for the hero. This showed people/them that the...

...Joel Erskin Sheila Sholhtalab World history from 1500 section 003 November 28, 2012 Compare and contrast Hitler's race theory with the realities of the Holocaust. How did expansion contribute to these theories? Nazism developed several theories concerning races. The Nazis claimed to scientifically measure a strict hierarchy of human race. Once firmly in power, Hitler’s plans for the ending of the struggle between the Aryan race and the “inferior races” was set to work. These races feared as a biological threat to the master race purity. At the bottom of this hierarchy were “parasitic” races which were perceived to be dangerous to society. Hitler’s Nazi theory also claimed that his Aryan race is superior to all other races, that a nation is the highest creation of great races. These nations developed cultures that naturally grew from races with natural good health, and aggressive, intelligent, courageous traits. The weakest nations, Hitler said were those of impure or mongrel races, because they have divided, quarrelling, and therefore weak cultures. The Nazi rationale was heavily invested in the militarist belief that great nations grow from military power, which in turn grows naturally from rational civilized cultures. Races without homelands, Hitler claimed, were "parasitic races," and the richer the members of a "parasitic race" are, the more "virulent" the parasitism was thought to be. A "master race" could therefore, according to the Nazi doctrine, easily strengthen...

...The issue of Westward expansion such as the issue of Missouri, Texas and Nebraska were clearly a key reason for conflict with in the union in the year 1820-1854. However there we other factors like slavery expansion and state vs. federal. The sources illustrate this to different degrees. Sources A, C,B and E can be grouped as they discuss that westward expansion is the main cause which supports the statement but it is E that does so most strongly. Sources C and A can be further linked as they touch on other factors that were important such as slavery. Whilst source D provides an opposing view that westward expansion was the main cause of conflict because it argues Slavery and the abolitionist movement was the reason for conflict within the union. Sources A, B, C and E all link to westward expansion however it is E that fully agrees to the statement. Source E strongly agrees with the statement because it is talking about the territory in particular the territory of Nebraska for example is says ‘Vast unoccupied region’ this shows that Nebraska was a problem and was making politics sectional. It also mentions ‘vast territory yet exempt from these terrible evils’ this is suggesting that the Nebraska territory is all part of the slave power conspiracy which Douglas was now part of as he substituted the Missouri Compromise for popular sovereignty which angered the North as it could lead to the expansion of slavery. This can be shown in source E from when it says ‘violation of a sacred...

Part B: Select two quotations from the text --one for each answer-- to support the answers to Part A. “It is natural and perhaps necessary for historians and story-tellers to view the dramatic shifts of history through the actions of a few famous figures, whether heroes or villains.

...restaurants. Sally Thorton, the company's CFO, has been put in charge of the capital budgeting analysis. She has examined the potential for the company's expansion and determined that the success of the new restaurants will depend critically on the state of the economy next year and over the next few years. McKenzie currently has a bond issue outstanding with a face value of $34 million that is due in one year. Covenants associated with this bond issue prohibit the issuance of any additional debt. This restriction means that the expansion will be entirely financed with equity, at a cost of $8.4 million. Sally has summarized her analysis in the following table, which shows the value of the company in each state of the economy next year, both with and without expansion. |Economic Growth |Probability |Without Expansion |With Expansion | |Low |0.3 |$30,000,000.00 |$33,000,000.00 | |Normal |0.5 |$35,000,000.00 |$46,000,000.00 | |High |0.2 |$51,000,000.00 |$64,000,000.00 | 1.

...INSTRUCTOR’S NAME: WENDY ACHILLES SUBMITION’S DATE: FEB 06’ 2012 1) What is the expected value of the company in one year, with and without expansion? Would the company’s stockholders be better off with or without expansion? Why? = 0.3 x 11,000,000 + 0.5 x 17,500,000 + 0.2 x 22,500,000 = $ 3,300,000 + $ 8,750,000 + $ 4,500,000 = $ 16,550,000 b) expected value with expansion: = 0.3 x 13,000,000 + 0.5 x 24,000,000 + 0.2 x 28,500,000 = $ 3,900,000 + $ 12,000,000 + $ 5,700,000 = $ 21,600,000. So, $ 21,600,000 - $ 4,500,000 = $ 17,100,000. They would be better off with the expansion because they would be making $ 550,000 more with it, so, $ 17,100,000 - $ 16,550,000 = $ 550,000. 2) What is the expected value of the company’s debt in one year, with and without the expansion? The expected value of debt will be the same amount because the expansion would be financed with equity. 3) One year from now, how much value creation is expected from the expansion? How much value is expected for stockholders? bondholders? A) Expected value without expansion: = 0.3 x $ 11,000,000 + $ 0.5 x $ 17,500,000 + 0.2 x $ 22,500,000 = $ 16,550,000. B) Expected value with expansion: = 0.3 x 13,000,000 + 0.5 x 24,000,000 + 0.2 x 28,500,000 = $ 21,600,000 So, cost of financing will be $ 21,600,000 - $ 4,500,000 = $ 17,100,000. Net value created by expansion: = $ 17,100,000 - $ 16,550,000 = $ 550,000. Since the debt value would remain the same, then, the addition would be for the stockholders...

...expected value of the company in one year, with and without expansion? Would the company’s stockholders be better off with or without expansion? Why? E(expansion) = ∑ ( probability × value of the company) E(without expansion) = (0.3×30,000,000) + (0.5×35,000,000) + (0.2×51,000,000) = $ 36,700,000 E(with expansion) = (0.3×33,000,000) + (0.5×46,000,000) + (0.2×64,000,000) = $ 45,700,000 – $ 8,400,000 ($ 8.4 million financing cost) = $ 37,300,000 ஃ expansion is a better option for the shareholder’s since the value of expansion ($37,300,000) is $ 600,000 dollars higher than the value without expansion ($36,700,000) 2. What is the expected value of the company’s debt in one year, with and without the expansion? - value of debt without expansion = (0.3× 30,000,000) +(0.5× 34,000,000) + (0.2×34,000,000) = $32,800,000 - value of debt with expansion = (0.3× 33,000,000) + (0.5× 34,000,000) +(0.2×34,000,000) = $33,700,000 OR The expected value of debt will be the same amount because the expansion would be financed with equity. 3. One year from now, how much value creation is expected from the expansion? How much value is expected for stockholders? Bondholders? - From question one, the value creation from expansion = $600,000 - Expected value for stockholders : Value of equity without expansion = (0.3× 0) + (0.5× (35m-34m)) + (0.2×(51m-34m)) = $3,900,000 Value of equity with expansion = (0.3× 0) + (0.5×(36m-34m)) + (0.2×(64m-34m)) = $12...

...U. S. History I: 1607-1865 | | | | Question Answers Question 1 The age of Manifest Destiny is, at its heart, an age of expansion--or rather, an age of many expansions. Examine the interplay of three of these expansions: the expansion of slavery, the expansion of the market economy, and geographic expansion of the nation. How did these three expansions reinforce and feed off of each other? How did they bring the nation to what William Henry Seward referred to as the brink of an "Irrepressible Conflict" by 1858? Answer As America was growing, at a vast rate that might have been one of the side effects of expansion and it looking forward for room to expand. American believed that it was their God given choice or right to occupy others area. It was getting more common about to expanding widely than they captured many states and made them slave. It was believed that the expansion of slavery was the result of popular sovereignty. As the expansion of territories took place, slavery expanded a long with it. The expansion of slavery would not have been resolved until and unless some crises arose. However, the two options that were to be considered were either to extend slavery to all as the territories expanded or to end it completely. There was not concept of practicing slavery in one territory and not in the other. It had to be practiced uniformly in all territories. Slavery was not the problem then they gradually grew to be, although there were some rumblings in...

...Early Islamic Expansion Are you a Muslim that believes in the Islamic religion? If you are not, then you might be interested in learning how the early Islamic Empire expanded. The Early Islamic Expansion occurred because of multiple reasons. In my opinion, Muhammad, treaties, and battles all played roles in the expansion of the early Islamic empire. To begin with, are the battles. One battle (The Battle of Yarmuk) helped with the early expansion of the Islamic Empire. That battle probably solidified the strength, importance, and fight that the Islamic empire possessed. According to Document A, “The Battle of Yarmuk,” written in the 800’s by Ahmad al-Biladuri, many of the Muslim enemies (the Greeks), were killed during the Battle of Yarmuk....
