Answer 1

Some Americans argue that California and Texas should be part of the United States because of less war threats.

United States shared borders with Mexico and were constantly under the threats of a war like situation.

Austin stood out as a spokesperson for the rights of American settlers in Mexico.

Answer 2

Just because of less war threats and Gold discovery.

Less war threats in California made some Americans to think that making California a part of the United States would strengthen the security of the nation.

Therefore, California became united with the United States back in 1850 on September 9. California entered the Union as a non-slavery state. Apart from the less war threats, the Gold rush in California made its population increased soon after they discovered gold on the river bank. This situation emphasised the need for a civil government.
