Answer:

The correct answer is A. England began to heavily tax the colonies to help pay for the French and Indian War.

Explanation:

Economically the French and Indian War was disastrous for both parties. Public debts in France and Great Britain threatened to bankrupt the Public Treasury. Both reacted by raising taxes enormously. The difference was that Great Britain applied them to the American colonists and France, having lost their colonies had to tax the lives of their citizens. The taxes on the tea trade and the Stamp Act were notable, and were one of the reasons for dissatisfaction on the part of the settlers, which originated the American Revolution and the subsequent independence of the United States.

In 1852 a famous Argentine philosopher named Juan Bautista Alberdi said, "To govern is to populate." What do you think he meant

inysia [295]

The quote to govern is to populate means that in order to have an effective government, you need to have the right persons with you.

This quote tells the reader how Mexico wanted to populate the area but in order to do so they needed the right people.

The right people here would mean the people that are Anglos and Catholic. To them these were the right people that would make them not to repeat the mistakes of the Spanish.

Although you didn't include the picture, one of the reasons why Spanish Texas almost failed was because of hostile native Americans that lived there. These would be the wrong people that Alberdi was trying to make reference to.
