with fertile land All right which of the following contributed
- 00:24
most directly to the development described in the excerpt and
- 00:27
hear your potential answers determination and driving policy Okay enough
- 00:33
mumbling the development talked about in the excerpt is the
- 00:36
annexation of texas meaning that o'sullivan is announcing the fact
- 00:40
that texas has now become an official state a fact
- 00:43
that some texans we'll still aren't too thrilled about u
- 00:46
s out of texans like that Anyway you know some
- 00:50
people still sing that any way to get this one
- 00:52
right We have to find the answer that most directly
- 00:54
contributed to bringing texas into the fold Option c has
- 00:58
its facts wrong While migration of the southwest was taking
- 01:01
place because fertile land was being over farmed elsewhere more
- 01:04
people were leaving the southeast than the northeast All right
- 01:08
well d isn't doing it for us either Policies like
- 01:11
the monroe doctrine did prohibit europeans from sticking their big
- 01:15
european noses in and colonizing american land but this is
- 01:19
not what drove the american expansion of the territory Joyce
- 01:22
is a little trickier to eliminate Sure political leaders didn't
- 01:25
handle the issue of american indian territories well like at
- 01:29
all but it's not like westward expansion was driven by
- 01:33
the purpose of taking away native peoples lands No one
- 01:37
wanted to take native land Specifically native americans just happen
- 01:40
to have the land that the politicians wanted to take
- 01:43
We're sure if the land were in the state it
- 01:45
is today well they wouldn't have bothered not that that
- 01:48
made the american indians feel any better about it The
- 01:51
real question here is why were the politicians so determined
- 01:55
to take the land in the first place Well option
- 01:57
b does the best job of answering that america was
- 02:00
in its awkward teen phase and was eager to be
- 02:03
taken seriously by the rest of the world Its leaders
- 02:06
decided the best way to do this was to dominate
- 02:08
the whole continent while ramping up foreign trade which worked
- 02:12
but it didn't really make everyone involved all that happy
- 02:16
Sorry guys but the winners write the history books So 00:02:19.38 --> [endTime] we were good guys right Ah
