1 answer:

5 0

In an important statement at Freeport, he held that the people could keep slavery out of their territories, in spite of the Dred Scott decision, simply by withholding the protection of the local law. Douglas was disturbed by Lincoln’s effort to resolve a controversial moral question by political means, warning that it could lead to a Civil War.
Finally, Douglas placed his disagreement with Lincoln on the level of republican ideology, arguing that the contest was between consolidation and confederation, or as he put it, “one consolidated empire” as proposed by Lincoln versus a “confederacy of sovereign and equal states” as he proposed.

The conflict between Texan and Mexican troops in Anahuac was caused by the arrest of William B. Travis and Patrick C. Jack.

emmainna [20.7K]

It is TRUE that the conflict between Texan and Mexican troops in Anahuac was triggered by the unwarranted arrest and imprisonment of William B. Travis and Patrick C. Jack, two prominent fighters against the "Siete Leyes" issued by the government.

The changes based on "Siete Leyes" placed all governmental powers in the hands of the Mexican national government led by Santa Anna.

These government changes angered the Mexicans and Americans in Texas, leading to the Texan Revolution and the brief existence of the Texas Republic between 1836 and 1845.

Thus, the arrest of the duo triggered the Texas-Mexico conflict.
