To determine which option is correct, we can analyze each option and see if it matches the statement "While the Confederation government had many weaknesses and problems, it was successful in...".
1. "Beginning settlement of the Northwest Territory": The Confederation government did play a role in the settlement of the Northwest Territory. After the Revolutionary War, the Northwest Territory (present-day Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin) was ceded to the United States by Great Britain. The Confederation Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which established a process for organizing and settling this territory. This option is a possible answer.
2. "Making a treaty of alliance with France": This is not a correct answer. The Confederation government did not make a treaty of alliance with France. The alliance with France was made during the Revolutionary War, before the Confederation government was created.
3. "Gaining U.S. independence from Great Britain": This is also not a correct answer. The Confederation government did not gain U.S. independence from Great Britain. The Revolutionary War, which led to U.S. independence, took place before the Confederation government was formed.
Based on our analysis, the correct option is "Beginning settlement of the Northwest Territory."
