Can you list 3 plausible causes why the americans reacted the way they did?

A. First, she was on foreign soil. Second, who the hell is she? Nobody. Third, her job is to entertain, that's what the fans paid for, not her political view. Amercians overall are fed up with celebrities injecting themselves into politics where most of the time, they have no real knowledge of what they are talking about and they don't deal with the same struggles most Americans do.

A. The victory of San Jacinto ended that war simply because the Mexican leader, General Santa Anna, was captured and became quite willing to grant independence to Texas in exchange for his life. All of these other questions are too involved to answer here. We would have to write many pages. Just a suggestion - you could separate these questions and people would answer them piecemeal. This seems overwhelming all together. Battle of San Jacinto, fought on April 21, 1836 lasted only about 20 minutes and ended by 5 PM, so it was not fought at night. Colonel James Fannin and ~ 400 men died in fighting near Goliad. After surrendering, over 300 surviving, unarmed Texans were massacred by Mexican soldiers - - the morning of Palm Sunday, March 27,… [cont.]
