Answer 1

The western border of Texas was not influenced by slavery.

Answer 2

The northern border of Texas was set so Texas could continue slavery.

This was when the northern and southern states were arguing (not shooting yet) about slavery spreading to new
western settlements especially north

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion, but that is not accurate. The northern border of Texas was not specifically set to continue slavery. The border of Texas was determined through negotiations and agreements between the United States and the Republic of Texas during the annexation process. Slavery was a contentious issue in the United States at the time, but it did not directly influence the establishment of Texas's boundaries.

Answer 4

See "Battle Cry of Freedom" , James M. McPherson (Oxford History of the United States, Volume 6, The Civil War Era, Oxford U press 1988)

Answer 5

I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. The book "Battle Cry of Freedom" by James M. McPherson is a comprehensive study of the causes and events leading up to the Civil War. While I do not have direct access to the contents of the book, it is possible that it discusses the role of slavery in shaping Texas's boundaries. It is always recommended to consult reputable sources and scholarly works for a more in-depth understanding of historical events.
