D.

As the ashes of the Alamo continued to smolder, Sam Houston feared another disaster could befall his Texas Army. Mexican forces under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna continued to sweep across Texas toward Fort Defiance, the presidio in Goliad that had been seized by the rebels in October 1835 at the onset of the war for independence. Houston ordered Colonel James W. Fannin to evacuate his 400-man force from Goliad and retreat to Victoria, a town 30 miles to the east behind the natural defense of the Guadalupe River. “The immediate advance of the enemy may be confidently expected,” Houston warned Fannin. “Prompt movements are therefore highly important.”

Why did american industrialists in the late 19th century generally support expansion into overseas colonies
Allisa [31]

Answer

These areas would provide new sources of raw materials and customers.

Explanation;

-Imperialism refers to the economic, military, and cultural influence of the United States on other countries.

- The late nineteenth century was known as the "Age of Imperialism," a time when the United States and other major world powers rapidly expanded their territorial possessions.

- American imperialism is partly based on American exceptionalism, the idea that the United States is different from other countries because of its specific world mission to spread liberty and democracy.

-Americans supported the idea of overseas expansion in the late 1800's because they wanted to expand trade to Latin America, to spread democracy, to politically influence the other countries, and expand so America has more territory.
