Answer:
Many so-called robber barons—James J. Hill, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller—became wealthy entrepreneurs through product innovation and business efficiency. Of the goods and services they provided, supply grew, and prices fell rapidly, greatly boosting Americans’ standards of living. This is the opposite of monopolistic behavior.
A robber baron is one of America’s successful industrialists during the 19th century, which was also known as the Gilded Age. A robber baron is a term that is also sometimes attributed to any successful businessperson whose practices are considered unethical or unscrupulous.* This behavior can include employee or environmental abuse, stock market manipulation, or deliberately restricting output to charge higher prices.
*The unscrupulous person is without scruples of conscience, and disregards, or has contempt for, laws of right or justice with which he or she is perfectly well acquainted, and which should restrain his or her actions: unscrupulous in methods of making money, in taking advantage of the unfortunate.

Describe in detail 2 causes of the American Revolution
Answer:
As the British government became more involved in the affairs of colonies, people began to worry that they would once again lose their freedoms. The French and Indian War took place between the American colonies and New France. Both sides allied with various Native American tribes. This war lasted from 1754 to 1763.
Explanation:
Item 4 Which statement about Native Americans in the western United States is accurate? Native Americans took land away from settlers and then expanded their territory. Native Americans lived in their traditional homelands and then were forced to live on reservations. Native Americans grew wealthy from the gold and silver found on their land. Native Americans were able to keep their way of their life despite the settlers' presence.
The correct answer is B) Native Americans lived in their traditional homelands and then were forced to live on a reservation.
The statement about Native Americans in the western United States that is accurate is "Native Americans lived in their traditional homelands and then were forced to live on reservations."
Those were the years in the United States history in which the Native American Indian tribes had many problems and serious conflicts with white settlers and the government. The Native Indians stated that those were their territories. They have been living there for thousands of years before the arrival of the white European settlers. Their ancestors lived in those lands and couldn't understand why the white colonists felt they deserved to live in those lands, moving the Native Indians to reservations.
The answer is Native Americans lived in their traditional homelands and then were forced to live on reservations.

.People cannot be sold or denied.
Only Legislatures
or the law of the land can determine the consequences of one's actions.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. to prevent the king from having the power to abuse rights and inflict injustices.
Explanation:
The nobles hoped to accomplish this by having King John sign the Magna Carta. The document was written by a group of 13th-century barons to protect their rights and property against a tyrannical king. It was concerned with many practical matters and specific grievances relevant to the feudal system under which they lived. The interests of the common man were hardly apparent in the minds of the men who brokered the agreement. But there are two principles expressed in Magna Carta that resonate to this day: “No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned, disseised, outlawed, banished, or in any way destroyed, nor will We proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land” and "To no one will We sell, to no one will We deny or delay, right or justice".
What did the French establish in the Americas? A. fishing and fur trade B. gold and silver mines C. new communities D. slave trade
Answer: Fishing and fur trade
Explanation:
The French conquered North America to establish trading centers for the fur trade. Some French ministers ultimately reached North America to turn Native Americans to Catholicism. In North America, Dutch (Netherlands) merchants organized themselves on Manhattan Island initially. The initial purpose of Dutch (Netherlands) colonization was to locate a route to Asia through North America. However, after noticing the fur trade profitable, the Dutch took the area of New Netherlands. The Dutch Republic rose as a vital business center in the 1600s. Its navies utilized the waters of the Atlantic as other Dutch (Netherlands) ships cruised to the Far East, returning with prized spices sold in the bustling harbors at home, particularly Amsterdam.
