The Texas Rebellion and the establishment of the Lone Star Republic reflected the Anglo Texans' desire for autonomy and their belief in Manifest Destiny, which held that the U.S. was destined to expand across North America. Many Anglo Texans viewed the Mexican government as oppressive and sought to align themselves with the U.S. for political and economic stability. Their rebellion was fueled by a sense of cultural superiority and a longing for the freedoms associated with American citizenship. Ultimately, these attitudes contributed to the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845.
Texans gave themselves the nickname of the Lone Star Republic when they declared themselves an independent state. Sam Houston was the president of the Texas Republic.
According to the official history, Santa Anna tried to transform Mexico from a federal republic into a centralized republic, removing sovereignty among its former constituent states. This angered Texans and Tejanos who fought and won for their independence. However, the motives of the Texan Revolution (1835-1836) have a much darker origin: in reality, they fought for their right to keep slaves. See related questions for further details.
On March 2, 1836, Texans signed the Texas Declaration of Independence at Washington-on-the-Brazos,creating the Republic of Texas.
