Answer 1

The most likely group to bring enslaved people to Texas prior to the Civil War would be White immigrants from other Southern states. Many Southern settlers moved to Texas, especially after it became an independent republic and later part of the United States, bringing their enslaved labor force with them to support plantation agriculture and other economic activities.
