Explanation:

For the first question (Indian Removal Act factors):

• Missionaries' desire to spread Christianity was a factor, as they pushed for assimilation and displacement of Indigenous groups to advance their religious goals.
• White farmers' hopes of using southeastern land to grow cotton was a key factor; the fertile land in the Southeast was highly sought after for cotton cultivation, driving demand to remove Indigenous nations. The Homestead Act was passed in 1862, long after the 1830 Indian Removal Act, so it is not relevant. Gold/silver discoveries in the Southwest were later, and Georgia's refusal to follow the Supreme Court decision was a consequence, not a contributing factor.

For question 21 (Andrew Jackson's political impacts):

• Expansion of suffrage through changed voting practices: Jackson's era saw the removal of property requirements for voting for white men, expanding access to the polls.
• Creation of a "spoils system" for those who had supported him: Jackson implemented this system, replacing existing government officials with his political allies as a reward for their support. The two-party system predated his presidency, he eliminated the national debt (an economic, not political impact), and he opposed the rechartering of the National Bank.

Answer:

• Missionaries' desire to spread Christianity
• White farmers' hopes of using southeastern land to grow cotton

Question 21 (Andrew Jackson's political impacts):
