Question

In 1845, Texas had lots of debt and was a slave territory, but it also had lots of land and could help the U.S goal of expansion. Would you allow Texas to become the 27th state? Why or why not? Prove your response with examples. Five sentence minimum.

Answer 1

I would because of the permain basin baby. long live the red white abd blue. black gold is in texas and land is only 10 cents an acre!!

Answer 2

I wouldn't Because the debt can bring more debt to the united states. Also, I'm pretty sure in 1845 there were people fighting to free the slaves so that would only cause more problems. It could help the goal but the problems it could cause are why it shouldn't be the 27th state! Yes, I know lots of land sounds good but there are Slaves which will cause more problems and the debt will put the U.S. in debt! That's why I believe it shouldn't be a state.
