Stephen F. Austin led people into the Mexican state of Texas with the aim of increasing trade and improving the land by bringing American settlers. He is often referred to as the "Father of Texas" for his role in establishing the first successful Anglo-American colony in the region. Austin's efforts were part of a larger strategy by the Mexican government to populate and develop Texas. His leadership and negotiation skills were crucial in attracting settlers and navigating the complex political landscape of the time.

That Anglo settlers would try to revolt and secede from Mexico.
It was a siege, where Anglo-American settlers entrenched themselves within the El Alamo chapel. Mexican troops laid siege and ultimately defeated such settlers.
The fighting in Texas stemmed from tensions between Anglo-Texans and the Mexican government, primarily due to differing cultural, political, and economic interests. Anglo settlers, encouraged to move to Texas, often resisted Mexican laws, including those regarding slavery and governance. Meanwhile, the Mexican government's attempts to enforce its laws and maintain control over the increasingly autonomous Anglo population led to further conflict. This mutual disregard for each other's rights and governance ultimately fueled the revolutionary sentiments that culminated in the Texas Revolution.
Yes, Mexicans lived in Texas before American settlers arrived. The region was part of Spanish territory, and after Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, it became Mexican land. Mexican settlers, including Tejanos (Texans of Mexican descent), had established communities and ranches in Texas long before the influx of Anglo-American settlers in the 1830s. This rich cultural heritage laid the groundwork for the region's diverse history.

Anglo settlers to Texas weren't the only Mexican citizens upset in 1835. Quite a few areas of Mexico were in open revolt. Santa Ana had abrogated the 1821 Mexican Consstitution. This is why you will see Mexican flags with an 1821 on them, it was the bearers way of saying that the government should uphold the Constitution. They were upset, because Santa Anna and the Mexican government had locked Stephen F. Austin up.
The primary difference between Texan soldiers and Mexican soldiers during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836) stems from their allegiances and motivations. Texan soldiers, often composed of Anglo settlers and Tejanos, fought for Texas independence from Mexican rule, seeking self-governance and individual liberties. In contrast, Mexican soldiers were part of the Mexican government forces, aiming to maintain control over Texas and uphold national sovereignty. These contrasting objectives fueled the conflict between the two groups.
After a small revolt Mexico became worried that America was trying to take Texas. The Mexican government sent General Manuel de Mier y Teran to investigate Texas. He observed that: the Anglo (white) American settlers outnumbered the Mexican settlers five to 1 (for every 5 Americans, there was only 1 Mexican)
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.
Anglo settlers moved to lands originally owned by Mexican people, binging with them racism and prejudice. Several laws were passed, encouraging the occupation of these lands; as any court disputes were held in English, Mexicans were at a disadvantage and often lost their lands. Due to ever-increasing numbers of Anglo immigrants, Mexicans quickly became a minority group.
