The correct answer is A) Scientific racism.

The phrase "Your new-caught sullen peoples, / Half devil and half child" is an example of Scientific racism,  a belief that Europeans used to justify imperialism.

That line was written by Rudyard Kipling in "The White Man's Burden," and this part show ethnocentrism, which means judging other cultures.

European nations considered themselves to be better than other races. Not only better but more powerful, which gave them the right to conquer other nations considered "weaker," as was the case with territories in South America of Africa. That is why the conquered new lands and exploited them, knowing that they hand a lot of raw materials and natural resources.

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.
