Question

which of the following is true about the goals of texas during its time as an independent republic? texans were divided about whether they should rejoin mexico. there was widespread support for remaining independent. texans wanted to join the united states. texans wanted to establish a defense treaty with the united states.

Explanation:

During Texas's time as an independent republic, there was significant division among Texans on their political future. A large faction supported annexation to the United States, while some favored remaining independent, and very few wanted to rejoin Mexico. A defense treaty with the U.S. was not a unifying or primary widespread goal. The key true statement is that Texans were divided on rejoining Mexico is false; instead, the accurate point is that Texans wanted to join the United States, as annexation was a major, widely supported goal among many Texans during this period, with strong political and economic motivations driving this desire.

Answer:

Texans wanted to join the United States.
