Answer 2

I apologize for the incorrect response. You are right, the correct answer is c) expanded use of the Texas Rangers to protect Texas land and citizens.

This expansion of the Texas Rangers helped shape the political identity of Texas by reinforcing the image of rugged individualism, self-reliance, and a strong sense of Texas statehood.
