Question

1. tyler’s attempt to annex texas during his presidency ____.

failed: the senate refused to ratify his annexation treaty

failed; the issue of slavery in texas would have resulted in war with spain

passed: the issue of slavery and land rights were settled between northern and southern states

passed; mexico conceded to terms regarding land rights addressed in the annexation treaty

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Tyler's attempt to annex Texas via treaty failed because the Senate refused to ratify it. This is historically accurate.
• Option 2: Spain had no direct role in the Texas annexation - Mexico was the relevant country, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The annexation treaty Tyler proposed did not pass, and the slavery/land rights settlement narrative here is wrong.
• Option 4: Mexico did not concede in Tyler's treaty attempt, and the treaty didn't pass, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. failed; the Senate refused to ratify his annexation treaty
