The correct answer is:
Sam Houston
Explanation:
Samuel Houston (1793-1863) was an American politician and lawyer who played a big role in the annexation of Texas to the United States.
<em>Houston was the main leader of the Battle of San Jacinto</em>, were <em>Santa Ana was forced to recognize</em><em> </em><em>Texas as an independent nation</em>. After that, Sam Houston was elected President of the Republic of Texas.
Although some people in Texas did want to be part of the United States<em>, a lot of Americans were already living in Texas</em> and wanted to become a state because being part of the United States Nation would get better protection, economic trades, and other benefits. Sam Houston was one of them, one argument Houston made was that Texas could not defend itself against hostile foreign powers.
Texas annexation was delayed because<u> Northern states did not wanted slavery to expand and Texas was a slave state</u>, Houston thought that if European countries were interested in Texas, the United States would admit them, so he sent J. Pinkney Henderson to England and France to negotiate trade alliances and secure Texas recognition.
However, it was until Sam Houston's second term that annexation was achieved, after long negotiations with United States President John Tyler, The House of Representatives voted to make Texas a state, and on December 1845 James K. Polk, the following President of United States signed the annexation of Texas.
In his "Great Arsenal of Democracy" speech, delivered on 29 December 1940, in the middle of the World War II, Roosevelt portrays the nations of Nazi Germany and its allies as aggressors and with a very different philosophy of government than American's, which consisted of violently dominating the world. He affirmed that If the Axis won the war, they would take over other continents nearby (Asia, Africa, Europe) and would bring enormous military and naval resources against the U.S. as well.
Consequently, the Axis power represented a threat to American society, and thus America, as the great arsenal of democracy, had a duty to help Britain fight the Axis by giving them military supplies while it stayed out of the actual fighting.
Thomas Paine (wrote the pamphlet Common Sense), was an educator and played an important role in the American Revolution. What he said makes the Revolution unique is that the 13 colonies (when under British rule) was rebelling against their own government. I know this kinda contradicts what I just said, but trust me, it’s right.
Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. It was to speed the production of cotton. It did this by removing the seeds from cotton.
