Thank you We sneak man here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by texas a great place to live

00:08

unless you're that one lone star all he wants is

00:11

a buddy Yeah all right check out the excerpt Texas

00:15

is now ours aren't even written and come into new

00:18

republican constitution They're starting a striving their glorious turning the

00:22

wings standard fare for the lamp All right here's our

00:24

question One direct effect of the trend described in the

00:28

excerpt was what your potential answer What was the trend

00:32

trend here growth in it All right well the trend

00:37

we're talking about here is that more and more chunks

00:39

of north america we're becoming official u s states does

00:44

chunks of america sounds like a heavy metal band that

00:46

does patriotic covers No just us maybe it's a soup

00:51

Yeah All right well it's needless to say but well

00:54

we'll say it anyway This didn't do anything to help

00:56

relations with the american indians Hey we wouldn't be too

00:59

thrilled either if someone came over to our place and

01:02

decided that it belonged to them and then give a

01:04

smallpox and kind of killed us so we can eliminate

01:07

answer choice b we can also cross d off the

01:10

list There was actually growing enthusiasm with international trade at

01:13

this time People were pretty psyched about bananas and coffee

01:17

They were less psyched when they tried putting them together

01:19

though but for the most part on ly good things

came with international trade Option c is not what we're

01:25

looking for either Yeah more territories were becoming states but

01:29

01:31

nation ought to be doing There were a lot of

01:33

things that state's old anu did not agree upon which

01:37

song was the best from chunks of america's new cd

01:40

and what to do with a disgusting coffee soaked banana

01:43

feel like we're forgetting a pretty big one There was

01:46

that oh right slavery kind of a bigger issue than

01:51

the whole coffee banana thing Which brings us to the

01:54

correct answer eh There was plenty of controversy when texas

01:57

was added to the union as a slave state It

02:01

was these kinds of tensions that continue to mount until

02:04

the north and south broke out into a break dance

02:06

battle Okay fine It wasn't quite a break dance battle

02:10

but that sounds way better than what actually happened They

02:13

actually broke out into a really brutal civil war but

02:16

wouldn't it have been so much better if the face
