History
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, it began what became known as the Space Race. Shortly after, the U.S. also launched its first satellite, Explorer I, in January 1958. The two nations competed with each other in order to be the first to send a human to the moon. Americans felt the need to compete in order to show that they were more technologically advanced. This increasing competition and tensions between these superpowers was the result of the Cold War, an indirect confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union to contain their rival's ideologies.

What main reason Congress initially refused to annex texas is supported by the information on this map?
viva [34]

One of the main reasons why Congress did not initially annex Texas is because it would create an imbalance of free and slave states in Congress.

During the early to mid 19th century, the United States was constantly expanding their territory. This was due in large part to the concept of manifest destiny. As the US was spreading their influence, they ran into the problem of whether or not these new territories and states would have the institution of slavery.

Southern states favored new territories and states having slavery while Northern states did not favor slavery in these new territories. The reason behind the Northern states includeds:

1) Influences from the abolitionist movement.

2) Northerners did not want slave states to have more representatives in Congress than they did.

This caused Texas annexation to be delayed, since Texas would be admitted as a slave state. This would throw off the balance of free and slave states represented in Congress, giving slave states the advantage.
