Answer:
B
Explanation:
The history of slavery in Texas, as a colonial territory, then part of Mexico, later Republic in 1836, and U.S. state in 1845, began slowly. The use of slavery expanded in the mid-nineteenth century as White American settlers, primarily from the Southeastern United States, crossed the Mississippi River and brought slaves with them. Slavery was present in Spanish America and Mexico prior to the arrival of American settlers, but it was not highly developed, and the Spanish did not rely on it for labor during their years in Spanish Texas.
The treaties between whites and Native Americans began in the late 1700's and lasted nearly a century. At this time, Native Americans were considered sub-humans, not worthy of the land that they used to own. There was certainly a pattern in the treaties between these two ethnic groups. A pattern of violence and displacement. After the Natives were forced to move to the southern part of the country, the white americans discovered diamonds in the mountains of Texas and gold in California (the gold rush) and again the Natives were violently removed from these parts of the land. The Destiny Manifest played a major part in the mistreatment of the Native Americans in the 1800's.
