Question

What reason do Texans give wanting their independence? What reason do abolitionists give?

Answer 1

The abolitionists saw slavery as an abomination and an affliction on the United States, making it their goal to eradicate slave ownership. They sent petitions to Congress, ran for political office and inundated people of the South with anti-slavery literature.

Answer 2

Texas formally declared independence in March of 1836; there were many reasons why they did so.
The Settlers Were Culturally American, Not Mexican.
The Issue of Enslaved Workers.
The Abolishment of the 1824 Constitution.
Chaos in Mexico City.
Economic Ties With the US.
Texas Was Part of the State of Coahuila y Texas.
