Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821 significantly altered the colonization of Texas by shifting governance and policies that encouraged settlement. The new Mexican government sought to populate and develop its northern territories, including Texas, leading to the establishment of land grants for American settlers, known as "empresarios." This influx of American settlers contributed to cultural and demographic changes, ultimately setting the stage for tensions between the Anglo settlers and the Mexican government, culminating in the Texas Revolution.
Stephan F. Austin was arrested by the Mexican government in 1834 due to his involvement in advocating for greater autonomy for Texas, which was then a part of Mexico. His efforts to negotiate with Mexican authorities for Texas's rights and governance were seen as a threat to Mexican sovereignty. Austin was detained for several months, reflecting the growing tensions between the Texian settlers and the Mexican government, which eventually escalated into the Texas Revolution.
