On June 13, 1832, Anglo-American settlers were involved in a conflict with Mexican commanderJohn Davis Bradburn at the posting of Anahuac, Texas, near the north extent of Galveston Bay. The settlers were opposed to control of their daily affairs by the centralist government. They were primarily at odds with the administration over the subject of tariffs on imports/exports and also over the presence of conscripted criminals in the Mexican garrison, whom the colonists blamed for a number of local crimes. The simmering conflict reached a head when Bradburn took in two escaped slaves from Louisiana. Though slavery was officially illegal in Mexico at the time, the Mexican authorities wanted to encourage Anglo-American colonization of the frontier and generally ignored the presence of blackindentured servants among the colonists. Two local lawyers, William B. Travis and Patrick C. Jack, attempted to secure the release of these slaves and were arrested by Bradburn.[1]

The Anglo militia skirmished with Bradburn's troops before retreating north to the crossing on Turtle Bayou near James Taylor White's ranch house to await the arrival of artillery.

The settlers received word that the anti-administration Federalist army had won a significant victory under the leadership of Antonio López de Santa Anna.
