Rome treated the people it conquered pretty well, unless you disobeyed their rule. Insurrections were often dealt with by way of execution, notably by crucifixion.
How did the expansion of the railroad influence the Westward expansion?
The expansion of the US railway system made private passenger transportation to the western territories allot cheaper, faster and easier for people who wished to settle in the western territories. The completion of the transcontinental railway system which was completed in 1869 allowed settlers to use the railways to reach destinations that previously were made by slow and often dangerous wagon trains. It also allowed for food and other supplies to be delivered to the west faster and it was less costly. Another factor was that settlers in the west could be better protected by the US Army who could use trains to move troops more rapidly.
What was the roman annexation?
The term Roman annexation refers to the annexation of territories to the Roman Empire as a Roman province. Sometimes newly conquered territories were annexed to the empire immediately. However, often, the territories were turned into client states by installing a ruler who was favourable to the Romans or they became allied kingdoms. Effectively, this was a form of indirect rule. This term refers to ruling a territory via local rulers who were subordinate to the Romans (or other imperial powers later in history). Over time, most of these client states and allies were annexed to the Roman Empire; that is, they became provinces of the Empire and came under direct Roman rule.
Abolitionists often opposed annexation of western territories because they?
...feared admission of the new slave states.
How did Romes political influence expand as it conquered new territories?
In the territories which were annexed, Rome was in charge. The provinces of the empire were administered by provincial governors. The local elites were allowed to run local affairs following local laws, customs and religions. Roman law regulated the affairs between Romans and locals. The governors acted as chief justices.. In the states which were allies or client states of Rome, the Romans intervened when there was political instability. The Romans built Roman towns around the empire to settle discharged veterans. These ex soldiers often married local women and played an important part in the spread of Roman influence. In the western provinces the Romans often linked aspects of their divinities with aspects of local divinities. Infrastructure projects (roads, bridges, aqueducts, baths, theatres, amphitheatres) and the thriving trading networks of the empire also played a part. Imperial Propaganda was another factor.
