7. encouraging exploration for gold and silver
8. creating a sharecropping system after the civil war
9. protecting the hunting grounds of native american indians
10. giving public land to railroad companies to help finance railroad construction

Explanation:

For question 11: This 1872 poster advertises large-scale land sales in Iowa and Nebraska by a railroad company. The promotion of white settlement on these Great Plains lands led to the displacement of Native American peoples, who were forced onto reservations to make way for incoming settlers. Option 2 is incorrect because the government encouraged land sales, not restriction. Option 3 is wrong as the Great Plains were focused on agriculture, not manufacturing. Option 4 is incorrect because Nebraska became a territory in 1854 and a state in 1867, Missouri was a state by 1821, so this predates the 1872 poster.

For question 12: The federal government supported railroad expansion in the West by granting public land to railroad companies. These companies then sold the land to settlers, as seen in the poster, to fund railroad construction. Option 1 is unrelated to land sales for railroads. Option 2 refers to a post-Civil War agricultural system in the South, not Western land sales. Option 3 is incorrect because the government did not protect Native hunting grounds; instead, it enabled their displacement.

Answer:

1. 1. More Native American Indians on the Great Plains were forced onto reservations.
2. 4. giving public land to railroad companies to help finance railroad construction
