Texas settlers primarily disagreed with the Mexican law that mandated the abolition of slavery. While Mexico had abolished slavery in 1829, many American settlers in Texas continued to bring enslaved people into the region, leading to tensions with the Mexican government. Additionally, conflicts arose over issues like land rights and the requirement for settlers to convert to Catholicism. These disagreements contributed to the growing desire for Texan independence from Mexico.

Mexico initially welcomed European settlers to Texas as a means to promote development, bring in agricultural expertise, and strengthen its border against potential U.S. expansion. European settlers were seen as more likely to assimilate into Mexican culture and adhere to its laws, particularly regarding the Catholic faith. In contrast, American settlers often clashed with Mexican governance and disregarded local customs, leading to tensions and resistance against Mexican authority. Ultimately, this difference in attitudes contributed to Mexico's preference for European over American settlers.
