∙ 6y agoPart of the reason Mexico declared its war of independence against Spain in 1810 was to end the Spanish encomienda system, which was basically a feudal system with lords and subjects. However, even after Mexico became independent in 1821 and switched to a federal republic system of government in 1823, there were no written laws against slavery; in 1829 it was officially banned, prompting Texan secessionists -- mostly of whom were slave owners -- to split off from Mexico in 1835.
