Answer and Explanation:

The discussion about the incorporation of Texas into the USA may present a strong acceptance of the principles of territorial extension and imperialism. This is because these principles defend the dominance of the USA over independent states, as a way to increase their power and influence in the world. Texas, as a region, independent of Mexico, accepted this type of domination, which raises American morality and establishes the country as something promising, powerful and admirable.

However, many people may be skeptical of this and claim that these principles promote the suppression of cultures, in addition to promoting unnecessary economic expenditure that presents more disadvantages to the United States than advantages. An example of this was the possible war between Mexico and the USA due to this indexation. This war promotes exorbitant cats that could be used to strengthen the United States.
