Question: Why did the Mexicans attack Taylor’s troops?  

<em>Options: </em>

A) They were waiting for American aggressors on their soil so they could kill them.  

B) They had the advantage of a more powerful army.  

C) They wanted Texas returned to them.  

D) They had been provoked by the presence of troops.  

Answer: The correct answer is option <u>D) They had been provoked by the presence of troops.  </u>

Explanation: Not only was Texas a difficult topic between the U.S and Mexico. The United States president, James K. Polk had his eyes on California, New Mexico and the rest of what is today the U.S. Southwest. However, his offer to purchase those lands was rejected so he instigated a fight between Mexico and U.S by moving troops into a disputed zone between the Rio Grande and Nueces River that both countries had already recognized as part of the Mexican state, Coahuila. Due to this, on April 25th, 1846, Mexico attacked a group of U.S. soldiers in the disputed zone under the command of General Zachary Taylor. They killed about a dozen U.S troops.

How did migrations impact Africa? Focus on the causes and effects of each.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The reason for migration can be attributed to segregation and better life.

Explanation:

Northern and Eastern migration: It was the relocation to cities of the West, Midwest and North due to unpleasant segregation laws and unsatisfactory economic opportunities which resulted in the movement of blacks to head north, where industrial workers were needed.

Bantu Migration: The reasons for the Bantu migrations were:

• Dried state of the Sahara grasslands which resulted into people that practiced agriculture to move in search of water and fertile land for farming.

• Increase in population which created pressure on resources causing movement in search for new land.

• Tribal wars resulted in defeated tribes to relocate for safety.

• Expansion of their iron-working after its discovery also caused migration.

The effects of Bantu migration include positive and negative effects. Positive effects include:

• Introduction of iron working

• Increase in food production.

• Introduction of new crops such as bananas and yams.

Negative effects include:

• Depopulation which was due to constant attacks for land by the Bantu against people in East Africa.

• Loss of culture: The loss of culture was a result of cultural absorption and intermarriage with other tribes.
