Question

Based on this excerpt, what was the main reason Texas decided to join the Confederacy?

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) Texans believed that the practice of slavery would be abolished if they remained in the Union.

Explanation:

Texas entered the United States as a slave state, as the Americans there held large amounts of slaves. In fact, the Texas Independence was fought primarily between the US citizens and Mexico over the issue of slaves, which already placed Texas as a slave state when it joined the Union.
