Why did some members of congress not want Texas to enter the Union as a slave state?

History

Nastasia [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Six months after the congress of the Republic of Texas accepts U.S. annexation of the territory, Texas is admitted into the United States as the 28th state.

After gaining independence from Spain in the 1820s, Mexico welcomed foreign settlers to sparsely populated Texas, and a large group of Americans led by Stephen F. Austin settled along the Brazos River. The Americans soon outnumbered the resident Mexicans, and by the 1830s attempts by the Mexican government to regulate these semi-autonomous American communities led to rebellion. In March 1836, in the midst of armed conflict with the Mexican government, Texas declared its independence from Mexico.

The Texas volunteers initially suffered defeat against the forces of Mexican General Santa Anna–the Alamo fell and Sam Houston’s troops were forced into an eastward retreat. However, in late April, Houston’s troops surprised a Mexican force at San Jacinto, and Santa Anna was captured, bringing an end to Mexico’s efforts to subdue Texas.

The citizens of the independent Republic of Texas elected Sam Houston president but also endorsed the entrance of Texas into the Union. The likelihood of Texas joining the Union as a slave state delayed any formal action by the U.S. Congress for more than a decade. In 1844, Congress finally agreed to annex the territory of Texas. On December 29, 1845, Texas entered the United States as a slave state, broadening the irrepressible differences in the United States over the issue of slavery and setting off the Mexican-American War.

Stalin's 5 year plan had different affects on industry and agriculture.

For one, the five year plan included the collectivization of farmers all across the Soviet Union. This means that the government controlled these farms and how much food they made. This negatively impacted farmers across the country, as those who refused to follow Stalin's lead were executed or forced into exile. Along with this, the five year plan lead to a famine in the Soviet Union.

As for industry, Stalin's 5 year plan helped turn the Soviet Union into a industrial powerhouse. This shift in focusing on industry rather than agricultural marked a huge shift in the Soviet society.

How did the economics of the Commercial Revolution affect European society?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The correct answer is D.

The Commercial Revolution refers to the establishment, by Europeans powers, of an economic system based on trade, since the 11th century. During the 14th and 15th centuries European countries were keen on exploring new trade routes in order to compete with the other trading nations. This was part of the mercantilist approach, in which each country aimed to maximize exports and, ultimately, their reserves of gold and silver.

Imperalism and colonialism allowed the entrance of large quantities of precious metals in Europe, for those who had risked enough and who managed to became a new business and prosperous social class.
