Why did some Mexicans fight for the union

Like all Americans, Hispanics were deeply affected by the Civil War. When the conflict erupted, they lived in all parts of the country. Some traced their ancestry to explorers who settled in North America generations ahead of the English. Many had suddenly found themselves classified as Americans when the United States expanded its boundaries. Others were recent immigrants from Spain and Latin America, drawn to the United States to improve their lives. When the nation split in two, many were forced to choose whether to support the Union or the Confederacy. Some had little choice as they were swept into the maelstrom.

From the first shots at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, in 1861 to the last action at Palmito Ranch, Texas, in 1865, many Hispanics made a conscious decision to join the fight: some for the Union and some for the Confederacy. They responded to a variety of motives, public and private. They represented all socio-economic levels, from wealthy aristocrats fighting to preserve a way of life to impoverished laborers seeking to improve their fortunes. Patriotism, personal gain, regional conditions, and history all played a role in their decisions. By the close of the war, more than 20,000 Hispanics had participated in the bloody conflict and thousands of Hispanic civilians had lent hearts and hands on the homefront, weaving their own individual stories into this important national fabric.

Pavlova-9 [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What John Spargo wanted according to the passage was to offer the American people a series of ideas to be reflected upon in order to make American people get into action and stop being a witness of the happenings of the time. Spargo believed that people could exert a formidable power through organized action to produce positive change in society.

Immigrant Joh Spargo (1876-1966) was a politician and a historian that spend some time supporting socialists ideology and then turned to be a supporter of democratic ideas, although expressed tough critics to Franklin D Roosevelt and his New Deal.

Karolina [17]

I believe the answer is: by themselves, with others, or by themselves

In the beginning of collaborative experiments, all participants would be made to remember a list of items in a secluded room from other (sometimes without even the presence of the experimenters). After the time given is up, they would gather all participants and asked them to recall the memory to see whether the presence of others could affect their memory retrieval.
