Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Texans \ did \ not \ want \ Mexico \ to \ ban \ slavery}}$

Explanation:

After Mexico became a country, it encouraged Americans to settle the region of Texas. Many were motivated by the prospect of cheap land, but the Mexicans created 3 conditions: they had to be Mexican citizens, follow Catholicism, and obey the Mexican Constitution (which banned slavery).

However, most Americans ignored these. They continued to speak English, worship in Protestant churches, and brought slaves with them.

For a while the Americans kept their slaves with loopholes in the Mexican Constitution and calling the slaves indentured servants. However, the Texans were concerned that they slaves would be taken away.

So, the best answer is A. Texans did not want Mexico to ban slavery
