#1) Where were the english forced to house a large number of prisoners in the late eighteenth century?
Answer: Sailing Vessels. During the eighteenth century, British justice used a wide variety of measures to punish crime, including fines, the pillory and whipping. Transportation to America was often offered, until 1776, as an alternative to the death penalty, which could be imposed for many offenses including pilfering. When they ran out of prisons in 1776 they used old sailing vessels which came to be called hulks as places of temporary confinement.

Answer:

As a result of the Fredonian Revolt, the Mexican government began to pay closer attention to the activities of the Texas colonies (which were predominantly made up of Anglo settlers). The Mexican government, in an effort to regain control of the area, began to impose more rules and regulations on the settlers. This concerned the Anglo settlers because up until now they had pretty much been left alone to live and govern as they pleased. They were worried the Mexican government would place more limits on their rights and freedom.
