The American democratic system did not begin in 1776. The colonies had been experiencing limited forms of self-government since the early 1600s while they were under the British supervision. Governors were appointed by the king and had almost complete authority over the colonies. However, the legislature used its influence to make the governors fulfil the colonies' wishes. American self-rule was not a sudden change. It took about 150 years of practicing rudimentary forms of self-government, until the colonies were ready to revolt against British rule and declare their independence.

16. How did the State Colonization Law of 1825 change Texas during the Mexican National era?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

It increased the population by offering cheap land.

Explanation:

During the nineteenth century, Texas was part of Mexico. However, very few Mexicans lived there, since it was very far from the central areas of Mexico. This allowed the Comanche to control vast areas of the state, making life even harder for the few Mexican colonists.

The government of Mexico decided to populate the state with people from the U.S., and it passed the State Colonization Law of 1825, which allowed White Americans from the U.S. to settle in Texas as long as they did not bring slaves with them (slaves was forbidden in all of Mexico).

This policy was successful in bringing more people to the state, but it also set the stage for the future independence and posterior annexation of Texas to the United States.

<span>Good morning, Susana!

The effects of technology on population growth rates and other related rates are the most diverse. With the turn of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, we noticed that the increasing presence of technologies and new scientific advances was responsible for the expansion of life expectancy. The possibility of producing more food also motivated the population growth and, consequently, the number of births. The challenges are also varied, including:

- Maintain and expand the quality of life;
- Offer food for all individuals;
- Fight against epidemics and deadly diseases;</span>

Was the Industrial Revolution a "fair" excuse for IMPERIALISM?

natali 33 [55]

With regards to whether imperialism was a fair excuse for the Industrial Revolution, the answer is that <u>it was not. </u>

<u />

<h3>What was the relationship between imperialism and the Industrial Revolution?</h3>

Raw materials were needed to produce more goods and so colonies were acquired to get these goods cheaply.
New markets were needed to sell the goods produced as well.

Both of these are not good enough excuses for imperialism because these nations could have engaged in fair and mutually beneficial trade that would have led to both the colonized nations, and themselves, developing.
