Thank you We sneak and who's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by the wig party otherwise known as

00:07

a soiree at rupaul's house All right check the excerpt

00:11

Texas is now ours already point during a random and

00:13

have one read this zillion huh blah blah blah blah

00:17

annexation All right And now for our question which of

00:20

the following groups would be most likely to support the

00:23

process described in the excerpt and hear your potential answers

00:29

Britt okay so the question is which of these groups

00:32

would have been the most excited about texas becoming a

00:35

state Well d wants us to believe that members of

00:38

the week party would have been super psyched about texas

00:40

becoming a state but we're pretty sure if they'd heard

00:43

that they would have wigged out many prominent wigs along

00:47

with democrats actually fought against texas Joining the union so

00:51

doesn't know option a had us believe that northern abolitionists

00:54

were into texas becoming a state but well that's definitely

00:57

not true Texas was admitted to the union as a

01:00

slave state which the northern abolitionists abolished slavery weren't exactly

01:05

thrilled about It also means we could get rid of

01:07

a she is a pretty solid guess Southern plantation owners

01:11

would have thought it was swell that another slave state

01:14

was being added to the union but even though they

01:16

probably were pretty pleased there's another answer here That's a

01:18

wee bit stronger so sorry plantation owners maybe lift some

01:22

weights next time our strong her answer here is b

01:26

more than any other group listed the white frontier settlers

01:29

would have been the happiest to see another chunk of

01:31

land added to the good old yusa like think about

01:34

their lives which fighting indians and drought no food and

01:38

all the other stuff Now they've got us behind him

01:41

All right well and you know plus those guys convention

01:43

press like two hundred pounds Easy We imagine it must

01:46

have been the same kind of buzz that toy collectors

01:49

get when they buy a new action figure So uh

01:52

good luck finding a display box big enough to fit

01:54

texas Maybe they can try a stamp collection next time
