What main reason Congress initially refused to annex texas is supported by the information on this map?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

The correct answer is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because you forgot to attach the list of the names of the presidents and the events, we can say the following.

If this is the list of events, then:

1. Cuban missile crisis: Kennedy.

2. Great Society: Johnson.

3. moon landing: Nixon.

4. Department of Education: Carter.

5. Iran-Contra scandal: Reagan.

6. Persian Gulf War: Bush, Sr.

7. bombing of the Murrah Federal Building: Clinton.

8. election lawsuits: Bush, Jr.

Part of the job of the President of the United States is to lead with the difficult situations that threaten the nation or, on the other hand, enjoy great development during its administration. That is why he is the leader of the nation and has to make the most difficult decisions.

Kennedy had to deal with the Cuban missiles crisis of 1962 and later was assassinated. Lydon B. Johnson created the Great Society, a series of legislation and programs to fight poverty in America and end crime and racial segregation. Nixon witnessed the moon landing but years later he was involved in the Watergate Scandal that cost him the presidency.

is the situation in Benin with de souza family is comparable to the history of the civil war and slavery in the south?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: If in a way it can be compared since both in Benin and in the South of the United States, the conditions of the slaves were the same: "lousy". The treatment of Africans and African Americans was inhuman. Francisco Félix de Souza was dealing with slaves and was a faithful servant of Guezo in order to defeat his brother, King Adondazan, who ruled in Dahomey, as Benin was formerly known.
