In the 1820s, most residents of Texas were Mexican nationals. I presume they supported the government of Mexico (although there were Mexicans who fought with the Americans at Alamo). I suspect that most of the Americans living in Texas in the 1820s supported slavery and independence (slavery was illegal in Mexico).
It didn't; Mexico was so friendly to the United States that the Mexican government let American colonists settle Texas and other territories, who ironically, would later revolt, fight for their independence and ultimately secede from Mexico.
The first Anglo American settlers arrived in Texas in the early 1820s, with Stephen F. Austin leading the first significant group in 1821. This marked the beginning of large-scale Anglo settlement in the region, which would eventually contribute to Texas's fight for independence from Mexico.
