Explanation:
because they paid them to do that
In the Civil War, Texas (young Texas) served as a support state, and there was barely any skrimishes in the state. Technically, by the governor's word (The governor at the time was Sam Houston), Texas was originally pro-Union, but the citizens wantes war as a way to assert the state's rights. Also, Texas did not fight for wealthy plantation owners in other states;<u> </u><u>Texas didn't have any cotton plantations compared to the other Southern states, so they didn't suffer as bad as a loss than the other states</u><span>. Moreover, during the battles outside of the state, the Texan soldiers either deserted from warfare or joined the Union.</span>
From 1860 to 1895, the United States experienced advances in technology, the industrial revolution and the Mexican-American war.
It can't be the Spanish American war because that didn't happen until some years later. It can't be an agrarian revolution because this is during the INDUSTRIAL Revolution and education at the time wasn't prioritized as much as it is today.
