Why do you think it took over fifteen years for a holiday to be created when lawmakers started to act just days after King's assassination?
Answer:
I think that it was the remaining racism in both society and the government that made the establishment of a national holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. so difficult.
Explanation:
The main reasons those who opposed the holiday gave were that it would be too costly and it wouldn´t be correct to honor someone who may have been a communist. These reasons are rather weak. First of all, there´s no proof of King´s association with communism. Furthermore, setting any holiday should not be based on its cost but its social relevance, which, as the many demonstrations demanding for the holiday showed, had already been established.
Considering the lack of solid reasons for the holiday not to be established, and the support the campaign in favor of the holiday got from different organizations working on equal rights for African Americans, I can only infer that there was a political interest in King´s ideas not becoming more popular.
One of the main reasons why Congress did not initially annex Texas is because it would create an imbalance of free and slave states in Congress.
During the early to mid 19th century, the United States was constantly expanding their territory. This was due in large part to the concept of manifest destiny. As the US was spreading their influence, they ran into the problem of whether or not these new territories and states would have the institution of slavery.
Southern states favored new territories and states having slavery while Northern states did not favor slavery in these new territories. The reason behind the Northern states includeds:
1) Influences from the abolitionist movement.
2) Northerners did not want slave states to have more representatives in Congress than they did.
This caused Texas annexation to be delayed, since Texas would be admitted as a slave state. This would throw off the balance of free and slave states represented in Congress, giving slave states the advantage.
