To determine which statement is not biased, we need to understand what bias means. Bias refers to a preference or inclination for or against something or someone that prevents someone from approaching a topic objectively. Biased statements often reflect personal opinions, judgments, or prejudices rather than being based on factual evidence.
Now, let's analyze each statement to identify any potential biases:
A. Annexation was the only way to solve the debt problem created by Sam Houston.
This statement presents a viewpoint about annexation being the sole solution to the debt problem. While it expresses a perspective, it does not appear to be explicitly biased as it mentions a specific problem and a proposed solution.
B. The Republic of Texas was an independent country for 10 years.
This statement presents a factual statement about the Republic of Texas being an independent country for a specific duration. It does not exhibit any bias as it simply states a historical fact.
C. The native Texans were the cause of constant conflict with the Texas settlers.
This statement assigns blame to the native Texans for the constant conflicts with the Texas settlers. It presents a biased perspective by solely attributing fault to one side without considering any other factors that may have contributed to the conflicts.
D. The United States had a right to Texas and the land all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
This statement asserts that the United States had a right to Texas and extends that claim to encompass the entire territory up to the Pacific Ocean. Although it may be seen as a biased statement from certain perspectives, it reflects a historical viewpoint that advocates for American expansion.
Based on this evaluation, the statement that is not a biased statement about Texas history is B. "The Republic of Texas was an independent country for 10 years." This statement simply provides a historical fact without any evident bias.
