Explain two reasons why the confederates wanted new mexico.

1) The confederates desire to control the immense gold and silver treasures flowing from the mines of the west into the union coffers

2) Another reason was to gain access to an outlet to the pacific

Explanation:

The confederates wanted to capture New Mexico so they could gain control over their gold and silver and also to gain access to the Pacific as this was part of the plan to capture California and most of the western states in America.

Once the Confederates had New Mexico, they could take over Colorado and California, where the gold fields were located. This would give the South an economic advantage. The Southwest was also a pathway into Mexico and California. By controlling the path to Mexico, the South would have a trade advantage. By controlling all of the South to California they might gain international recognition and keep the North from reaping these benefits.

Explanation:

Water scarcity is a reality in the world, dozens of countries are already facing this problem, which has been evidenced in the north-central African continent.

The lack of water is due to the fact that the reserves are finite, and the amount available is decreasing. In addition, the demand has been increasing due to population growth.

In sub-Saharan Africa rural activity is export oriented, so there is a large number of monoculture crops of tropical produce.

The plantation system, tropical crops that occupy large tracts of land, is a mode of production introduced by European settlers in the second half of the nineteenth century. In contemporary times this practice continues to be developed on huge farms, which are not owned by the native peoples, on the contrary, they belong to foreign companies or to rich white farmers of European descent.
