Answer:

40%

Explanation:

It estimated that around 40% of the Americans trace their at least one ancestor to Ellis Island.  Ellis Island became to be known as the gateway to America for the immigrants who came in the late 1800s. The island facility processed more than 12 million immigrants until November 1954, when the immigration stopped by the Government by closing Ellis Island.

What was the main argument in favor of annexing Texas into the United States and what were the main arguments against annexing T
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821. At that time, Mexico’s northern provinces included California, New Mexico, and Texas.

When Mexico founded the province of Texas in 1821, the land was very sparsely populated, so Texans actively recruited settlers from the United States to help grow the region’s population. Soon, Stephen Austin—after whom Austin, Texas is named—was selling plots of land to American settlers from a large land grant his father had received from the Mexican government; meanwhile, other settlers from the United States—especially from the American South—were moving to Mexican Texas.

By 1830, there were 7,000 settlers from the United States living in Mexican Texas. But tensions between the Mexican government and settlers from the United States grew as Mexico unsuccessfully attempted to halt further immigration and settlers pushed back against Mexican legal codes. These regulatory laws required those living in Mexico—including those living in Texas—to become Mexican, convert to Roman Catholicism, file legal documents in Spanish, and (after Mexico abolished slavery in 1829) end the practice of slavery. In reality, however, Mexico continued to allow settlers from the United States to bring slaves into the territory as “indentured servants.”

In 1835, settlers from the United States who lived in Texas formed a provisional government, and in 1836 called for independence. In turn, the Mexican government deployed the Mexican leader Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and his troops into the region in an effort to regain political control.

The settlers in Texas from the United States, together with the active support of Tejanos (Texans of Spanish origin), sought to hold their ground against Santa Anna’s advancing troops.

In March of 1836, following a thirteen day siege, Santa Anna’s 5,000 troops attacked and killed 187 American and Tejano defenders at the battle of the Alamo--a mission-fortress outside San Antonio. Among the dead were Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and commander William Travis. “Remember the Alamo” became, thereafter, a battle cry.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Portuguese and the dutch established their footholds through military force in Africa and Asia. They Both built fortifications and trading posts to support commercial activity. Unlike the Porteguese who'd just made forts, the Dutch settled permanent post. More land was taken over by Dutch settlers as the Porteguese just stayed along the coast. Because the Porteguese had not permentally settled and colonized their forts, other nations took over and their effects on the region did not last long after their empire had declined.
