History

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.

Savatey [412]

1. What is important about these two parts of Greek history and literature is that it is very studied by the modern West, in the aspiration to define its own culture, as the successor to Greek culture. All subsequent events in Greek history were observed and comparable with these two Homer's works. It only says how important it is for the Greeks and later for modern civilization. The great contribution to the understanding of the ancient civilization, these works give, through the descriptions of honor and struggle for the adopted ideals, with the prize for honor and virtue, glory. Dying without glory is a disaster. This can be seen through the Odyssey and the Trojan War described in Ilijad.

2. The geographical characteristics of the peninsula forced the Greeks to live in isolated communities. Ancient Greece consisted of many independent cities of the states. The cities were separated by mountains, hills and water. In such conditions there was no possibility of agriculture, or very little. That is why the ancient Greeks relied on the journey of the sea and thus contributed to the spread of Greek culture.

How might unrestricted submarine warfare have led to u.s. entry into world War 1
pashok25 [27]
No single event or factor destroyed this neutrality and led to America entering the war on the side of Britain and her allies. American opinion had increasingly turned against the Germans as they stepped up submarine attacks on shipping, including passenger vessels crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The sinking of the British ship, the Lusitania, in May 1915, aroused great anger as 128 Americans were among the 1198 passengers who perished. Further attacks followed until the German government announced in June 1915 that passenger ships would not be sunk without warning.
