Want to know:

Why was the privatization of public property considered to be a vital task after Texas entered into the Union in 1845? a.The leaders of Texas feared that if they did not privatize the lands in a way that would allow the state to maintain some control and benefit, the lands would be federalized instead. b.At the time, Texas was "land rich but money poor" and this was a way for the state to be able to raise funds that could be used for vital purposes such as funding elementary, secondary, and higher education. c.As a result of becoming part of the United States, there were now redundancies within many parts of government within the state. This would allow the state to sell off the tangible redundancies that were no longer needed. d.It was a required provision of agreement Texas signed with the United States as one of the conditions of becoming a state—only the original 13 colonies were allowed to maintain control of their public lands when they joined the United States.
