Question

5 SENTENCES EACH

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Andrew Jackson threatened to send troops to any state that tried to nullify federal laws. The action was directed at the state of South California led b y John C. Calhoun, opposed a tariff bill passed by US congress.The Indian Removal Act was signed into law on May 28, 1830, by United States President Andrew Jackson. The law authorized the president to negotiate with southern Native American tribes for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for white settlement of their ancestral lands.

2. Anglo-American settlers in Texas did not see themselves as part of the Mexican culture although they lived in Mexico´s territory. The newly introduced American immigrants that decided to own land in Mexican territory had been given land and would be able to obtain citizenship with the condition that they would adopt the religion, take an oath promising to practice Mexican culture. The facing of a new culture made it difficult for Anglo-American immigrants, which inspired them to establish their own customs and ways of life.  American settlers were joined by more Americans of different cultures and as immigration of Americans rose, Mexicans became outnumbered by their neighbors from the north. Although Anglo-American immigrants were given land and rights, their perception of Mexicans was negative; they thought of Mexicans as ignorant, poor and indolent. They did not adopt Mexican culture to the point that they decided to make Texas a new state of the U.S.

3. Pro-slavery: the positive impact cotton business had on the south, since the north thrived in industrial businesses. and slaveholders also argued for paternalism, that slavery actually helped and benefitted slaves, and that owners acted in their best self-interests. Some American slaveholders sincerely believed they were doing something good for black people by exposing them to Christianity and Western ways of life. These arguments were specious and self-serving, since the real motivation for slavery was economic.
