The Mexican government was trying to retrieve a cannon that had been given to the people of Gonzales, Texas, to defend against Native American attacks. In 1835, when the Mexican authorities sought to reclaim this cannon, local residents resisted, viewing the move as an infringement on their rights. This confrontation escalated tensions between the Texians and the Mexican government, ultimately contributing to the Texas Revolution. The incident is often referred to as the "Lexington of Texas."
