Question

Texans were angered because what practice had been outlawed?

O A. None of the above
O B. Buffalo hunting
O C. Slavery
O D. Gold mining

Answer 1

Texans were angered by the outlawing of slavery, which was central to the tensions between American settlers in Texas and the tejanos, as well as disputes during California's gold rush era.

Step-by-step explanation:

The practice that angered many Texans was the outlawing of slavery. This is evident from the context provided, where American settlers in the Mexican province of Texas, unlike the tejanos, were predominantly slave owners and religiously distinct from the predominantly Roman Catholic tejanos. Furthermore, the reference to Californian settlers opposing slavery during the gold rush era and the subsequent unanimous agreement to bar slavery in the state constitution underscores the tensions surrounding the practice of slavery. The practice of allowing residents of territories to decide whether their land should be slave or free was called popular sovereignty.
