Question

question 1 (multiple choice worth 5 points) 98.04 mc the new boundary line set by the adams-onis treaty had which of these effects?

• it created a system of dual governance in florida.
• it represented the completion of manifest destiny.
• it began the decline of spain’s new world empire.
• it allowed the united states to develop florida’s resources.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Adams - Onís Treaty transferred Florida from Spain to the US, so dual governance in Florida is incorrect.
• Option 2: Manifest Destiny was about westward expansion across the continent, and the Adams - Onís Treaty was about Florida and boundary with Spain, not the completion of Manifest Destiny.
• Option 3: The decline of Spain's New World empire was a long - term process with multiple factors, and the Adams - Onís Treaty (1819) was more about resolving boundary issues and transferring Florida, not the start of Spain's decline (which was already in progress).
• Option 4: After the Adams - Onís Treaty, the US gained Florida, which allowed the US to develop Florida's resources.

Answer:

D. It allowed the United States to develop Florida's resources.
