Answer:
Santa Anna became president in 1833. He revoked the Texan constitution, taking away all authority and autonomy from the state, which angered Texan settlers.
Explanation:
Santa Anna came to power in 1833. When he assumed the presidency of Mexico, he maintained his position in allowing Mexican states to have their own laws, tax collections and managed independently from the federal government, claiming that Mexico was a federation of independent states. However, in order to have complete control of the Mexican army and increase state taxes, he went back on that position and revoked the state constitutions, including Texas, which deeply irritated the Texan settlers who started the Texan revolution.
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>A) Hernando DeSoto was the first known European explorer in what is now the Southeast.</u>
<u>D: Spain founded Catholic "missions" to spread their influence in North America.</u>
<u>E) Diseases spread by the Spanish caused many American Indians to die.</u>
Explanation:
Hernando DeSoto was a celebrated Spanish explorer who worked under the Spanish crown to explore, plunder and conquer the new world. While he was not the first European to explore North America, he is widely reported as the first to reach the great Mississippi river.
He led his expeditions from modern-day Florida and moved upwards, exploring Alabama, Georgia and neighboring regions. This would rightly be described as the US Southeast today.
While he was not able to establish colonies here, he had a number of clashes with local tribes and more devastating were the diseases that his crew carried. Small pox and measles were unheard of in the new world and wherever they traveled, the diseases spread quickly.
Also, Spain used religion as a means to convert people and bring them under their sphere of influence.
Most likely the target of that speech was towards B. the tobacco industry. Tobacco is still a large part of farming in the Southern United States, as it has been since before the formation of the United States.
The textile and coal industries were mostly in the north in the in what is now known as the "Rust Belt" due to the decline in manufacturing jobs since the 1980s. The shipbuilding industry would have been contained in coastal towns for the most part on either side of the country.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
As a new member of Congress, you should start planning your reelection campaign some six to seven months before elections.
However, you have to take in mind that it is your current work as a Congressman, your best launch pad to reelection. It is the work you do on a daily basis the one that counts and people notice. Not your campaign promises or all that rhetoric. No. It is your daily work, the contact with the people, and your accomplishments representing the interest of the US citizens, what is going to give you the real chances of being reelected.
