Causes of the Texas Revolution part 2
Montāžas Teksta
- Many Americans who settled in Mexican Texas did not convert to Catholicism or meet all the requirements for colonizing Mexico, such as bringing slaves with them. There, Hayden Edwards receives an empresario contract to settle 800 homes near Nacogdoches, only to discover that people are already living there. Enraged by this, Edwards remained in the area and attempted to revolt. On December 21, 1826, Edwards and his supporters claimed that part of eastern Texas was free and independent from Mexico, which they named the Republic of Fredonia. However, most British settlers in Texas did not support Hayden's rebellion. Such violence caused Mexican leaders to reconsider their immigration policies.
- The conflict developed between settlers and the Mexican military after the Law of April 6, 1830. Mexican Colonel Juan D. Bradburn arrived at Anahuac, and had a settlement near Galveston Bay with forty men. William B. Travis lied to Breabrun when he claimed the two slaves that runaway were his slaves. He arrested Travis and charged him with sedition. After Travis and other American prisoners were released, they returned to Anahuac and rebelled against Bradburn and his officers.
- Anglo settlers issued the turtle Bayou Resolutions in response to the conflict at Anahuac and military victory by Federalist Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Resolutions took advantage of this opportunity to side with the Federalist. Santa Anna was trying to defeat Mexican President Anastasio Bustamante, and settlers hoped that resolutions were shown Mexico didn't want to get in trouble.
