Suport or refute president andrew jackson's reasoning behind refusing to admit texas

Historically it is reasonable to argue in support of President Andrew Jackson's reasoning behind refusing to admit Texas.

Explanation:

Texas became an independent state after it proclaimed independent from Mexico on March 2, 1836. Though the majority of its population shared a desire to become a part of the United States, politically this step was not supported by American leadership.

In particular, Andrew Jackson (1767 – 1845) shared the concern that the large state of Texas with its slave-holding nature would influence the pro- and antislavery argument in the Congress in favor of South states. He even was postponing the official recognition of the Texas’s Independence.  

the answer to the question is punishment. or more specifically, positive punishment.

positive punishment occurs when a behavior is given a negative consequence for the individual doing the behavior.

sara no longer wants to ask questions (the behavior) because she is ridiculed by mr. smith (the punishment).

reinforcement is inaccurate because reinforcement always gives positive consequences for the individual doing the behavior, be it by introducing a pleasant consequence or removing an unpleasant one.
