Courier & Enquirer, in an article on the annexation of Texas to the Union, gives the following reasons for the measure Category: NewsThe N. Y. Courier & Enquirer, in an article on the annexation of Texas to the Union, gives the following reasons for the measure:First. The annexation of Texas would of necessity exclude the further introduction of slaves from abroad into that beautiful country, because the law of the Union would be extended over it, and those laws make the slave trade Piracy.Second. It would not increase the number of slaves in the country, but merely increase the territory occupied by them.Third. It is a well known fact, that whenever slave labor is most valuable, it is the interest of the master to treat the slave most kindly. Where this labor produces the largest return, the master can afford, and finds his interest in providing for him better food, clothing, and shelter; and consequently, every person who has at heart the welfare of the slave, should zealously advocate any and every measure, which is calculated to compel the slave holders in the Northern slave States, to send him further South.Fourth. With the rich lands of Texas in habited by our own people, and constituting a portion of our Union, no slave holder in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky or Missouri, could afford to retain their slaves, but would find it their interest to send them further South.Fifth. The annexation of Texas would greatly increase the wealth and rapidly extend the commerce of the country.Sixth. Texas in twenty years will grow all the cotton that Great Britain will require. She will admit British goods free of duty, and in return, Great Britain will exclude the Cotton of the U. States from her ports, unless we too receive her goods free; and if we refuse, as we doubtless will, they will be smuggled into the country through Texas!______________________NotesClass 101— The Mexican-American War BeginsMarch 2, 2016John Tyler:“His Accidency”Elected as a Whig, acts more like his own party-alienates the Whig and DemocratsTexasSam Houston bluffs a relationship with the BritishSecretary of State Abel Upshur for TylerPaints doomsday picture if TX doesn’t become a stateTexas Annexed at the end of Tyler’s Presidency John C.
