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

Answer 1

Politically, the Anglo-American settlement of Texas differed from Spanish and Mexican settlement patterns by establishing a republic form of government and eventually being annexed by the United States. Economically, the Anglo-American settlement brought an influx of American entrepreneurs who established a market-based economy whereas the Spanish and Mexican settlements relied more on agriculture and cattle ranching with limited commercial activities.
