7. The primary causes of the Mexican-American War were manifest destiny, westward expansion, economics, and slavery.
8. It took Texas almost ten years to become a state because at first it was owned by Mexico, then it wanted to become an independent country.
9. Mexico had felt that The U.S had taken Mexican land because Mexico didn’t recognize Texas’ independence.
10. The Underground Railroad was an underground system that helped slaves escape from the south into the North as a freed American. Harriet Tubman helped man the Underground Railroad.
11. South Carolina threatened to secede because of the aftermath of the Tariff of Abominations; it shrunk English demand for southern raw cotton and increased the final cost of finished goods to American buyers.
12. The Northern population grew much larger in numbers because of industrialization before the civil war.
