Explanation: During 1839 the Texas was in turmoil.Most of the new arrivals in Texas was steeped in legal recourse and protection law. But there were some unlawful activities in the Texas ,such as fraudulent land certificates, slave theft and others. The old settlers were unable and not willing to prevent these activities. But the new settlers wanted to prevent these crime and formed a band called Regulators. Charles Jackson was one of the regulator. He organized this group. He was accused of killing Joseph Goodbread who was an alleged land pirate. As a response of murder of Goodbread, Charles Jackson was also killed.
As a result the bloodiest war feud in Texas history began and it was named as Moderators vs Regulators .
I don't think that democracy can survive in the slums. I think so because people in the slums are always treated badly for the things they don't have and they have to turn to illegal means to survive. It's do or die in the slums and Democracy died in a losing battle.
