Stephen F. Austin was arrested in 1833 by Mexican authorities for allegedly encouraging insurrection and attempting to incite rebellion against the Mexican government. Austin had been advocating for greater autonomy for Texas and was seen as a threat to the central Mexican government's control over the region. His arrest was part of a larger crackdown on dissent in Texas as tensions between the Mexican government and Anglo-American settlers escalated.

The mexican government incarcerated Stephen Austin because they believed him of starting up a resistance, and disagreeing publicly with the Government. They threw him in jail on the Charges of Treason.
