Would you have considered settling on the Texas frontier during this era? Why or why not?

SUPREMEMILEY:

can someone please help

rocfp:

The population of Texas continued to grow during the 1840s and 1850s. Settlers from the United States as well as Europe came to Texas in search of land and opportunity. The expansion of slavery correlated closely with soaring cotton production, which rose from fewer than 60,000 bales in 1850 to more than 400,000 in 1860. ... Plantations in Brazoria and Matagorda counties produced significant sugar crops, but elsewhere farmers and planters concentrated on cotton as a source of cash income. The daily life of people living on the frontier was filled with hard work and difficulties. Once a farmer cleared the land, built a cabin and a barn, and planted his crops, he still had a lot of chores that needed to be done each day. In order to survive, the entire family needed to work. I hope this helped

SUPREMEMILEY:

thank you
