Treaty of Greenville.
Texans agreed to the Mexican federal compact primarily for the promise of land and economic opportunities. The compact offered settlers the chance to acquire land at a low cost, which was appealing to many looking for new prospects. Additionally, the compact included guarantees of certain rights and the opportunity to practice their own religion, which further attracted American settlers to Texas. Ultimately, the hope for a better life and the allure of land encouraged many to align with the Mexican government's terms.
The Mexican government granted land to families who settled in Texas under the empresario system, which typically offered around 4,428 acres (or about 1 league) for each family that agreed to settle and adhere to Mexican laws. Additionally, settlers were often granted smaller parcels for individual members of the family. This land policy aimed to encourage migration and development in Texas during the early 19th century.
