<span>Migration to Texas occurred during a period of slavery controversy, with many Americans concerned about the extension of slavery. Realistically, the extension of cotton culture into Texas was no more surprising than the creation of a wheat-growing empire in Minnesota and Dakota.</span>

Tejas, in English history books usually referred to as Mexican Texas, was a province of Mexico between 1821 and 1836. Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 in its war of independence. Initially, Mexican Texas operated very similarly to Spanish Texas. However, the 1824 Constitution of Mexico set up a federal structure, with Tejas joined with the province of Coahuila to form the state of Coahuila y Tejas.

Tejas was grossly underpopulated, with about 3500 settlers living in the whole of Tejas in 1821, mostly congregated at San Antonio and La Bahia,[1] despite efforts by the authorities to increase the settler population along the frontier. The settler population was overwhelmingly outnumbered by the indigenous tribes. To increase settler numbers, Mexico enacted the General Colonization Law in 1824, which enabled all heads of household, regardless of race, religion or immigrant status, to land in Mexico. The first empresarial grant had been made under Spanish control to Stephen F. Austin, whose settlers, known as the Old Three Hundred, settled along the Brazos River in 1822. The grant was later ratified by the Mexican government. Twenty-three other empresarios brought settlers to the state, the majority from the United States of America, while others came from Mexico and Europe.

After concerns over attitudes of US citizens in Tejas, the Law of April 6, 1830 outlawed further immigration of US citizens to Texas. Several new presidios were established in the region to monitor immigration and customs practices. Angry colonists held a convention in 1832 to demand that US citizens be allowed to immigrate. A convention the following year proposed that Texas become a separate Mexican state. Although Mexico implemented several measures to appease the colonists, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's measures to transform Mexico from a federalist to a centralist state motivated the Texan colonists to revolt.

The first violent incident occurred on June 26, 1832, at the battle of Velasco. On March 2, 1836, Texians declared their independence from Mexico. The Texas Revolution ended on April 21, 1836, when Santa Anna was taken prisoner following the Battle of San Jacinto. Although Texas then governed itself as the Republic of Texas, Mexico refused to recognize its independence.

Why was the Confederate defeat at Antietam important to the North?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Confederate defeat at Antietam was important to the North because it prevented Britain from supporting the Confederacy in the war.

Explanation:

The Battle of Antietam is one of the largest battles in the history of the United States of America in terms of the number of casualties (dead and wounded) that reached 23,000 from both sides. The battle took place on September 17, 1862, near the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland. The battle was led by General George McClellan and the Confederate South by General Robert Edward Lee. Despite the numerical superiority of the North, McLennan failed to achieve a decisive tactical victory, and Lee was able to withdraw some of his troops to Virginia. Strategically, the battle was seen as a marginal victory for the North, that prevented both France and Great Britain from entering into the war to help the Confederacy.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

He is using a technique called "Think, Pair, Share".

Explanation:

"Think, Pair, Share" is a discourse technique widely used as a learning method that can be adapted to different scenarios, and can even be adopted during a debate or speech.

This technique insists that for an argument to be effective, it must first be thought, reasoned and researched by an individual. The second one, called "pair", states that the individual must gather arguments and references that prove what he researched and what he is defending. Last, but not least, the individual must hold everything that I gather and defend his position on the subject, just as Kyan did. That's because Kyan, after thinking and researching his topic, found an article in a scientific magazine that confirms his argument about the benefits of nuclear energy.
