One of the ways that cultural patterns influenced diffusion in Texas is through migration from Mexico and Latin America after the Mexican-American War, bringing elements of Mexican culture to the U.S.
To arrive at this answer, it is important to understand the historical context of Texas and its cultural influences. The Mexican-American War took place from 1846 to 1848 and resulted in Texas becoming part of the United States. Following this war, there was an increase in migration from Mexico and Latin America into Texas.
To find the correct answer, you could eliminate the responses that do not mention the Mexican-American War or migration from Mexico and Latin America.
Option 3, which mentions British Protestants settling for religious freedom, does not align with the historical context of Texas or the Mexican-American War. This option can be eliminated.
Option 4, stating that cowboys and ranchers were isolated and did not interact much with the majority of Texans, does not mention migration from Mexico or Latin America, so it can also be eliminated.
By process of elimination, the correct answer is option 2, which states that migration from Mexico and Latin America started after the Mexican-American War, bringing elements of Mexican culture to the U.S.
The accurate description of one of the ways that cultural patterns influenced diffusion in Texas is:
Migration from Mexico and Latin America started after the Mexican-American War, bringing elements of Mexican culture to the U.S.
