“Fort Ross, located about 90 miles north of San Francisco, marked the southern-most limit of Russian territory in North America.

It was founded in 1812 by the Russian-American Company as an agricultural colony to feed Russian fur trappers in Alaska. With a population of 250 at its peak, Fort Ross was actually the central hub for a number of even smaller outposts as far south as Bodega Bay and the Farallon Islands, located 40 miles north and 18 miles west of San Francisco, respectively. The Russians dismantled the colony in 1841. But Mexico was still worried about the threat of Russian expansion in their land, so they invited Anglo-American settlers to California as a buffer against Russian expansion from Alaska. The Mexican government also considered inviting Chinese colonists and Irish famine refugees to California.” Source: The Mental Floss History of the United States by Erik Sass

Answer:

Yes, it supports that view because Mexico which is a country in North America did not want Russia, a European country to dominate North America. Therefore, they encouraged the American annexation of California.

Explanation:

The excerpt says that the Russians already had Fort Ross in their possession and that they were expanding as seen in their other smaller outpost which extended far into the Farallon Islands. The population was also increasing as the territory expanded. The Mexicans who are North Americans wanted to protect the territory from Russian domination.

For that reason, they encouraged the Anglo-Americans to move into California. So, this annexation of California was actually in the best long term interests of North America.

Describe the relationship between the social history of Texas and the political characteristics of the state’s diverse populatio
stellarik [79]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The relationship between the social history of Texas and the political characteristics of the state’s diverse population. can be traced back to when the territory of Texas belonged to the Mexican government. Then, we can identify the times of Stephen F. Austin trying to colonize the Texas territory, negotiating with the Mexican authorities to grant the authorization to bring Anglo people to Texas. Then, fateful episodes such as the Alamo, and later, the victory of the Texan army in the Battle of San Jacinto, in Galveston. After being a Republic, Texas was annexed to the Union but there has always been a mixture of the Anglo culture with the Mexican culture even today. That intermingling of belief systems, culture, and traditions is one of the notorious things that characterizes Texas, especially cities such as San Antonio, El  Paso, Houston, and Dallas.
