    their own Constitution. According to Benjamin Lundy in his pamphlet‚ The War in Texas in 1836‚ “The immediate cause and main goal of this war-led by the slaveholders of this country…has been to grab the large and valuable territory of Texas from the Mexican Republic‚ in order to re-establish the SYSTEM OF SLAVERY.” Lundy shows that the main motive the United States has for annexing Texas is to expand their slave market.

    religion‚ social habits‚ and language. To me‚ culture means the gifts a country or community has to offer.

I walked in to the auditorium and made a beeline to the buffet‚ expecting hard-shelled “Doritos” flavored Taco Bell tacos. When we approached the table it became clear that the food before our eyes bared no resemblance to the popular fast
