The largest silver deposit in american history was discovered in nevada in 1857. what was this termed? a. sutter's mill c. spindle top b. comstock lode d. san francisquito

The correct answer is B) Comstock Lode.

The largest silver deposit of American History was discovered in Nevada in 1857 and was named Comstock Lode.

Henry Comstock was the owner of the property were a rich deposit of silver was found. The Discovery was made in June 1859. The location was in Mount Davidson, part of the Virginia Range in Nevada. The Discovery, the major silver discovery in the United States, produced a “Silver rush” just like the “Golden rush” lived in the state of California eight years before.  

nothing certain is known about what happened, but it seems that the country declined gradually, perhaps due to bad government, or, more likely, due to a series of bad harvests, which resulted in widespread and recurrent famine.
