Thank you We sneak plan here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

Brought to you by bald eagles Some of the more

00:07

self conscious ones have explored other options Shall we say

00:13

All right check out the excerpt Texas is now our

00:17

convention in congress and unions on her starts driving emblazoned

00:21

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
