a. david livingstone
b. cecil rhodes
c. benjamin disrael

The correct option is "a. David Livingstone"

David Livingstone was a British doctor, explorer and missionary, one of the greatest figures in the history of exploration. Through astronomical observations, he established correct situations in African cartography and made reports on botany, geology and zoology. He also distinguished himself by his fight against slavery. For all that, in Victorian Britain was considered a national hero.

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.
