Question

which of the following was most likely to bring enslaved people to texas prior to the civil war? (1 point)

Explanation:

Prior to the Civil War, the institution of slavery was legal in Texas, and slave owners (including those from other Southern states) would bring enslaved people to Texas, often for agricultural or plantation - related work. British immigrants were more likely to be involved in other aspects of settlement, Mexican landowners had their own land - related contexts, and white immigrants from other Southern states were more likely to be free settlers or bring their own enslaved people in a different dynamic compared to the direct role of slave owners in bringing enslaved people.

c. slave owners
