Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: westward expansion policy and outcomes

Step 1: Analyze the first statement

The first statement asks if Andrew Jackson, in an 1830 message to Congress, expressed that Native American and European American cultures were equally valuable and worth preservation.

Historically, Jackson's policies and messages viewed Native American cultures as incompatible with white American civilization. He argued that they could not survive in contact with white settlements and needed to be removed westward to save them from physical extinction, rather than viewing both cultures as equally valuable and worth preserving in place. Thus, this statement is False.

Step 2: Analyze Question 17

The statement asks if Andrew Jackson expressed that the removal of eastern Native Americans would contribute to the economic prosperity of settlers entering former Native American lands.

In his Second Annual Message to Congress in December 1830, Jackson explicitly argued that Indian removal would pave the way for a dense and civilized population, increase the wealth and power of the United States, and allow white settlers to secure and cultivate the land. Thus, this statement is True.

Step 3: Analyze Question 18

The question asks which region the Seminoles had migrated into by the 1700s.

The Seminole people emerged in the 18th century (the 1700s) as a distinct group composed primarily of Creek Indians who migrated from Georgia and Alabama into Florida, which was then under Spanish control. Thus, the correct option is Florida.

Answer:

• First Statement: False
• Question 17: True
• Question 18: Florida
