In 1-2 sentences, describe two ways the Anglo-American settlement of Texas differed politically, economically, or socially from earlier Spanish and Mexican settlement patterns in that region. (2 points)

Answer 1

The Anglo-American settlement of Texas differed politically from earlier Spanish and Mexican settlements as it led to the establishment of an independent Republic of Texas, while the earlier settlements were governed by Spain and later Mexico. Economically, the Anglo-American settlement brought an influx of settlers who introduced new industries and trading practices, diverging from the primarily agrarian economies of the Spanish and Mexican settlements.
