I’m not positive but I think they did
So I actually have a Social Studies book from my old school, lucky for you, we got to the Cold War.
Here's what the book stated:
One of Reagan's proposals was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). He believed this defense shield could make nuclear war impossible, but the unlikelihood that the technology could ever work led opponents to dub SDI "Star Wars."
Also, I do know that this is also found on another website but thats probably where the book's information came from.
the actual answer would be Texas getting annexed in a few years and becoming a state also some territories around the area along with the making of a super-power country plus our crazy cowboys lol :P
