Mexico allowed a large population of American people to settle in Texas to increase commerce and relations with the American government. However years later Mexico wanted to tax them, and the Texans disagreed. Then Mexico wanted to overthrow them from their lands. They never expected such a big mass of people would had of settled those areas so quickly. That led to Texas becoming an independent nation and Mexico fight a war against them. This events then lead to the Battle at the Alamo and Santa Ana selling the lands.
