The governor of Texas is one of the weakest in the U.S. this is particularly true when we consider the governor's appointment powers. Unlike other States in which the governor is the highest elected figure of the executive, in Texas, the governor is only one of many high level elected officers.
I know that Salem Poor fought at Bunker Hill and I think he fought at Saratoga as well.
<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.

The correct answer is B) The upheaval caused by urban industrial laborers.
During the time of the American Revolution, the increase of industrialization had not taken place in the North American continent. America does not begin large scale industrialization until the middle of the 19th century.
All of the other answer choices played a critical role in starting the American Revolution. The debt from the Seven Years War resulted in the need for the British government to tax the colonists.
The thousands of miles between Britain and North America caused a disconnect and the development of two very different cultures.
Lastly, the British neglect of the needs/desires of the American colonies caused resentment. This is due to the fact that the American colonists were not represented in the British parliament (who passed a series of taxes on the colonists).
Farmers were very much affected by the panic of 1893.
One of the factors of the panic were the populists. The populists was a political party that was against capitalism and had hostility against cities, elites, banks, railroads and gold miners - everything that symbolized capitalism - it was supported by farmers.
Another factor was the free silver movement. This movement consisted of the defense of silver as a movement of economic justice. Farmers defended this movement because they were full of debt and they wanted to have the right to turn silver directly into money without a central mining institution. This also was a platform of the populist party.
