Why were early travelers known as “tin-can tourists”

Because they drove cars and often had a lot of can food

Explanation:

A group of campers in 1919 started an organization called the Tin Can Tourists.

Explanation:

They named the club after the car they all used to travel the country which was the Model T, also known as the Tin Lizzie. People suggest that it was after the cans of food they stored to feed them selves during these long trips to Florida or a tin can placed on the radiator to identify themselves as members of the club but we have a written record from those that met and started the Tin Can Tourists organization that it was due to the Model T's nickname. They were proud of the vehicle being able to make the trips and they used the car as part of their tents.

The group is still around and celebrated it's 100 year anniversary in 2019. Check out tincantourists.com

yes i think there would be volunteers

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.
