Answer:

Texas escaped government debt after the Civil War because it did not use Confederate money.

Explanation:

The American Civil War was a civil war fought in the United States between 1861 to 1865, it involves the northern United States who are loyal to the Union and the southern United States who had seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy

The cause of the civil war was a result of the long-standing issue over the enslavement of black people. The civil war started in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina immediately after the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln as the President of the United States.

The loyalists of the Union, including the North, some parts of Western and Southern states, declared support for the Constitution. While the secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, supported the states' rights to uphold slavery.

Hence, during and after American civil war, the following happened:

1. Ports on the Gulf of Mexico were blockaded by the Union Army during the Civil War, which added to the shortage of consumer goods in Texas and throughout the South. By using Anaconda plan, it prevented foreign countries from shipping supply to the states.

2. During the Civil War, Texans and other Southerners had to make their own clothes because textiles from Northern factories were cut off: having cut off supply to southern parts, the Texans and other southern part were forced to make use of their cotton production to make their own clothes.

3. Texans and other Southerners could not reach other parts of the country during or after the Civil War because transportation systems were damaged: as the Union Navy captured or destroyed around 1,500 blockade runner ships during the course of the Civil War. Also, the blockade covered around 3,500 miles of coastline and 180 ports. Hence, it prevented the Texans and Southerners from reaching other parts of the country during and immediately after the Civil war.

However, Texas did not escaped government debt after the Civil War because it did not use Confederate money, as they were made to pay paid off all their debts, including the redemption of all redbacks, under the Compromise of 1850, in which Texas was given $10 million for all the land it had claimed outside its present state boundary. Thus, they used the money to pay off their debts.

What is human race: the history of racial typing???
Naya [18.7K]

Answer - Race as a categorizing term referring to human beings was first used in the English language in the late 16th century. Until the 18th century it had a generalized meaning similar to other classifying terms such as type, sort, or kind. Occasional literature of Shakespeare’s time referred to a “race of saints” or “a race of bishops.” By the 18th century, race was widely used for sorting and ranking the peoples in the English colonies—Europeans who saw themselves as free people, Amerindians who had been conquered, and Africans who were being brought in as slave labour—and this usage continues today.

The peoples conquered and enslaved were physically different from western and northern Europeans, but such differences were not the sole cause for the construction of racial categories. The English had a long history of separating themselves from others and treating foreigners, such as the Irish, as alien “others.” By the 17th century their policies and practices in Ireland had led to an image of the Irish as “savages” who were incapable of being civilized. Proposals to conquer the Irish, take over their lands, and use them as forced labour failed largely because of Irish resistance. It was then that many Englishmen turned to the idea of colonizing the New World. Their attitudes toward the Irish set precedents for how they were to treat the New World Indians and, later, Africans.
