Chapter 12 Section 3 Opener

There is a territory near the United States with vast reserves of lumber, fertile farmland, and mineral resources. However, this territory also has its own culture and government. Should the United States annex this territory?

Yes they should annex this land because you should have the right to their own religon and government in ther political views

Paige McKenzie(: said...

Yes they should annex it. The united states can easily take over their government, and The U.S could use all that fertile farmland and the mineral resources.

mariahsalyers said...

They should annex this territory but they should not try to control the people. These people already have their government set up so they should let them continue the way they are now, but get more land for the US and for the other people.

Jordan said...

I don't think they should annex the territory because they have their own culture and government so they would have trouble following new laws.

Demetrius said...

Yes because all those things are very helpful to the us but it would be wrong to move somebody off there land

malikah said...

no they should not because the people might want to live there or might like the land.

Ashley saylor. said...

Yes.

Dantreece M said...

Yes the United States should annex this territory because it has enough resources for the people to use to sell and ship goods for money farmland for farmers to grow and sell crops and its a reliable territory to help us more.

Mike said...

Yes because then you can plant stuff like cotton, etc.

ricky hardiman said...

No because this territory belongs to the native Americans

khaalid said...

I think they should let the people who live there keep the land because the people who need it more then the U.S. do because that what they live off that and if we take that what do they have.

Kaitlynn said...

I think not because that's your land and not right to make someone leave

Justin Bergquist said...

By matirial resources the anxxation of this territory is a good idea but with the cultural differences the original population of this area may cause problems in the future.

braydon west said...

no because the culture there might try to start a war with the United Sates wich will send us into another costly war

Unknown said...

i thick the goverment should not annex the territory because people wood not be to go and farm the land

Kaleb Brown said...

I think we shouldn't annex this territory because maybe the people who live in this territory don't want to become part of the United States.If they have their own government their government may disagree with our laws that we are trying to pass.

Unknown said...

I think that the United States should not annex the territory because they can use the land or make it into a new land with a name for it.

If They Have The Power Too , Then , Why Not Go Ahead And Do What They Have Too Do , But If They Dont Have The Power then They Need Too Just Leave It Be !

AStamper(: said...

I think the United States should not annex this territory. I think this because they are a free country and took a while to get it that way so it shouldn't be ruined because of that.

breanna ragin said...

yes i do think the united states should annex this territory because we can learn very important cultures and have lots of farmland to plant things we need for your people.

Jordan said...

The united states shouldn't annex the territory because the people that live on the land wouldn't be able to change their culture and law very easily.

melvin said...

i think they should take control of it. i think this because u can have more land,slaves and more good farming.

Cunningham, William said...

Yes because it would help alot of people with farming and building new resources to the United States.

julian said...

yes i think we should annex the territory because one they have lots of materials that we could use and could support are country and two because we should start to make a good name for are self because america is a mixed cultural country

Kevin Smith said...

I think the U.S. government should annex the territory into statehood....yet let them believe their own beliefs.

brandon schon said...

yes because it had many resources that where helpful for the Americans.

payton brown said...

i think the united states should join because that land has a lot of good things on the land to use that would be a good lace to farm and make a lot of money

kyra (: said...

yes the US should annex the territory because it has fertile for the farmers, there own culture, lumber and mineral resources.

megan horne said...

i think no because if the land all ready have a government the united states just cant come and add the territory they would have to make a proposal first.

shawntaze said...

yeah they should annex this territory

matt paluga said...

yes because we could control the land and be way bigger

jessica meguire said...

i dont think the united states shouldnt annex this territory because we havent yet explored the rest of the country so we dont know what that land has to offer

Smith , Kaylyn (: said...

I Dont Think The US Should Annex The Territory Because Its Not Theirs And The Territory Follows Their Own Government And Rules And The US Just Cant Take Their Stuff .

kierstinbin said...

The United States should annex this territory and its cultural. Plus it also has it own government.

samantha.schon said...

Well , depending on what you do with the land. If they use it they could have mining , planting , and building things with lumber But if the United States just uses it for something other than what it's resources are like.

keleigh lape said...

i think that the united states should try and annex the territory because then they will have more land for people to live.

singletonj said...

no because it has so many resources to live off of

dayna wickersham said...

i think that the us should annex the territory because the more resources we have the less expensive everything will be and the economy would get better.

Morgan Baldwin said...

yes . the united states should annex this territory because ihts useful. only if the people decied to follow the culture and government laws.

kyle dunn said...

no they shouldnt because they have enough resources

Thai mccowan said...

It depends on if that state own slaves or not also if they are willilg to go to war.

Tehya Quinones said...

Probably not, because if the government and culture are different there would most likely be a lot of arguments.

deairrez said...

The united states should no annex this territory. But they already have so it do not matter.

Unknown said...

I think that they should try to make a truce where they share the land not just take it away from the people that were there first they have rights!!

Unknown said...

I think that the United States should annex the land because they can make the land much bigger and it can be used for different things, and big enough for people to use.

Courtney Marie. said...

No i dont think the government should annex it beacuse its theres not the united states. When you look they have people who have cultures and they live there so the United States should not annex it.

Emani.Thompson (: said...

They should because they would have great land and produce things on that land and have more people come and live there.

Thao Nguyen said...

I don't think they should annex the territory, because they already have their own culture and government . That territory can be reserved for other people .

<$jah'michael$> said...

no because we don't know how the new territory will react to the attempt of being annexed. it could prove to be a painstaking costly process.

croberson said...

i think they should make a truce with the other people there to share the land because the will have great land and can produce things on the land. also more peopkle can come live there.also they wont have any problems.

Dami Okunoye said...

yes but it would not be fair to whoever lived on or owned the land

I think it might be good for just getting land but also they could start a war by taking the land.

WoOlLy AwEsOmEnEsS!!!!! XD said...

I would say yes to steal this rich land full of goods, but it was already taken by the Native Americans. It will be wrong just to take something with out their consant. It happened though so there is really nothing i could say to make it seem better.

AdrianaJ(: said...

No I don't think they should annex the land because it is not right for them to take away the people's land.
