1. The four states of United States that border Mexico are Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. There are multiple similarities between these four states, be it in their geography or culture. The most striking similarities are that all of these four states have a very percentage of population that has Mexican ancestry, and that the Spanish language is commonly used, but at home and officially. There are two main reasons for this. One of them is that these states were once part of Mexico, so when the United States managed to conquer them, they encountered mostly Mexicans, which did not returned to Mexico but stayed in the United States. Another reason is that they border with Mexico, so the Mexicans that migrate toward the United States mostly end up in these states, or are there for at least some time.
2. The differences between these four states can be mostly seen in their economies and their cultures. The economies of these four states are all different. Texas for example is focused on the oil reserves, as well as large scale farming and ranching, while California is mostly focused on the tertiary sectors, such as its famous movie industry. The culture too differs in all of these states, which is actually a trait of any state in the United States as all of them have something specific about them. The Texans tend to be more rough, love weapons, and are much more conservative. The Californians tend to be much more libertarian, more easy going, and love the spotlight. The New Mexicans and Arizonians are not very open, they tend to be more closed and function in their communities, while not being very willing to engage with ''outsiders''.
The Grimke sisters Sara and Angelina were from born in the southern state of South Carolina in the United Sates in 1782 and 1805, respectively. In that time the Southern states of the United States had black people as slaves, and the sisters were not in favor of it. The two sisters were very religious and eventually became Quakers and started to speak up against slavery and to support the abolition movement that looked to free the slaves. This support of the abolition cause caused them to be disliked in their native state and even some problems with members of the Quaker community. The sisters supported by the American Anti Slavery society started to speak to other women in gatherings and giving conferences in favor of the slave cause, which were eventually attended by both men and women. This made The General Association of Congregational Ministers of Massachusetts angry and they sent out a pastoral notice strongly denouncing women preachers and reformers in 1837. For this reason the sisters felt the need to begin to fight for equal rights for women. The action against women and the intention to limit and restrict their rights by these religious leaders was on what the sisters based their argument for women's equal rights.The sisters continued to give lectures on women's rights and were very popular in the north of the country. One of the sister's, Angelina, married an abolitionist man and all of them eventually moved to Boston in the northern state of Massachusetts were they lived for the rest of their lives.
