Question

One of Sam Houston’s biggest goals and challenges in his second term as president of Texas was to balance the Republic’s budget. Houston drastically reduced spending in several areas of the military. Do you think this was a wise decision or not? How else could Sam Houston have balanced the budget of Texas at the time?

Answer 1

Sam Houston should have not reduced spending in the military because the military needed more money at the time and he could balance out the budget by reducing the pay of schools
