Name three problems of the Republic of Texas.

• A. Slavery
• B. Immigration and possible Mexican invasions
• C. Stable government and debt
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The question is asking you to recognize the range of problems the Republic of Texas faced after gaining independence. Think about what a new nation had to handle all at once: financial strain, political stability, and security on its borders. Slavery was a major policy and political issue that influenced internal debates and relations with other states, especially when considering eventual annexation by the United States. Immigration and the threat of Mexican invasions reflect that Texas had to manage a growing population while defending its claimed territory and deterring external aggression. At the same time, the republic struggled to establish a stable government and pay its debts from the war, which made governance and finances difficult. Since all of these challenges were present, the option that includes all of them best captures the realities of the Republic of Texas.
