The removal of the Cherokees was a product of the demand for arable land during the rampant growth of cotton agriculture in the Southeast, the discovery of gold on Cherokee land, and the racial prejudice that many white southerners harbored toward American Indians.

In 1830, the U.S. Federal government passed the Indian Removal Act. This Act gave the president authority to make treaties with the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee-Creek, Seminole, and Chickasaw Nations. Its purpose was to move these entire societies from their land in the southeast to land west of the Mississippi River.

Which of the following was not a reason the United States was reluctant to annex Texas?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The United States was reluctant to annex Texas because it did not want to fight a war with Mexico.

Explanation:

In 1836 the Republic of Texas was created, independent of Mexico. In August of 1837, Memucan Hunt Jr., ambassador of Texas in the United States, presented a proposal of annexation to Van Buren's administration. Believing that the annexation would lead to a war with Mexico, the US administration rejected the Texan proposal.

Finally, in 1845, James Polk became president and annexed Texas to the United States. This situation led to the Mexican-American War, as Van Buren had predicted.
