Indian removal in the early nineteenth century happened because of     
 atrocities committed by the Cherokees.    
 overpopulation of the land by the "five civilized tribes."    
 the Indians' need for a better place to live.    
 * many Americans' hunger for land and profit.

 British and Americans ban international slave trade.    

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the American economy     
 * benefited greatly from the connection between southern slavery and northern  industry.   
 suffered because of the South's slave system.    
 depended primarily on northern industrial production.    
 depended primarily on profits from slave-grown cotton.    
    

The failure of the South to industrialize in the nineteenth century was     
 due to northern opposition.    
 due to a lack of natural resources.    
 because of a shortage of labor.    
 * because they chose to depend upon "King Cotton."    
    

Of all the New World slave societies, the one that existed in the South was  the only one that    
 * grew by natural increase.    
 imported its slaves from Africa.    
 did not import female slaves.    
 never had a slave rebellion.    
    

A common defense of the institution of slavery by slave owners was that     
 * slaves were treated better than northern industrial workers.    
 slave children played with white children.    
 slaves lived better on southern plantations than the natives in Africa.    
 slaves lived much longer than whites.    
    

The most successful slave revolt was led by     
 Hinton Helper.    
 * Nat Turner.    
 Denmark Vesey.    
 Gabriel Prosser.    
    

The largest group of slave owners was comprised of     
 * small yeoman farmers.    
 poor white tenant farmers.    
 rich plantation owners.    
 middle class professionals (e.g., doctors, lawyers, and merchants).    
    
In general, cotton production spread in this direction, especially in 1840  and 1860:    
 south    
 southeast    
 * west    
 northwest
