Answer:
The Erie Canal opened up trade opportunities from the East Coast to the Midwest
Explanation:
The map in the question shows the Erie Canal, a water route from New York to the midwest in the United States. It serves as a mess of transporting commodities, mainly commercial quantities, and agricultural produce. It also serves as migrating routes for many people moving from New York to less populated places in the Midwest, such as Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Chicago, and other areas in the West.
<u>Broad Context:</u> The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already <em>shared many common traits </em>(why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
<u>Other Context:<em> </em></u><em> </em>The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.
