The correct answer is A) developed a more independent way of life.

To determine this, we need to analyze the given information: "because Nacogdoches was located deep in the piney woods." Nacogdoches being situated deep in the piney woods suggests that the area was relatively isolated and surrounded by dense forest.

In such circumstances, settlers often had to rely on themselves and their own resources for survival. They would have to cultivate their own food, build their own homes, and establish their own communities without relying heavily on external support. This necessity for self-sufficiency in a remote area would likely have led to the development of a more independent way of life for the settlers.

Hence, the correct answer is A) developed a more independent way of life.
