History of Texas
While the recorded history of Texas began in 1519, when Spanish conquistadors discovered the area, numerous Native American tribes had been living in the region for thousands of years. What is now known as the state of Texas has had a long and vibrant history, including being colonized by Spain and France, becoming an independent nation, and joining the United States to become the 28th state in the union.

What did the treaty of Velasco state?
The two treaties of Velasco were negotiated between officials of the ad interim government of the Republic of Texas and Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator and commander of forces, about three weeks after his capture by the Texans at the Battle of San Jacinto. The "public" treaty, presented below, was to be published and implemented immediately after it was signed. A second "secret" treaty was to be implemented after the terms of the public treaty were fulfilled. In essence, the secret treaty provided for Santa Anna's immediate release in exchange for his recognition of Texas as an independent nation. However, the treaties were soon violated by both parties. The Texas army blocked Santa Anna's release, as promised in the treaties. Meanwhile, the Mexican government declared void all of Santa Anna's acts while in captivity. Together, the treaties somewhat loosely established Texas' southern border at the Rio Grande River, but this issue would not be finally resolved until 1848--after Texas statehood and the conclusion of the Mexican War.

Why is the rubi report evidence that Spain was discouraged about developing Texas?
The Marques de Rubi (full name: Cayetano María Pignatelli Rubí Corbera y Saint Climent, Barón de Llinas) traveled to the northern territories of the New Spain in 1767, mapping part of Texas and inspecting the presidios (fortresses built to protect against pirates, hostile native Americans, and colonists from enemy nations) along the frontier, traveling to San Saba, San Antonio de Bexar, Los Adaes, and La Bahia to finally leave Texas through Laredo in November of that year.
He recommended that Spain should reorganize its frontier along a series of fifteen presidios, that would stretch from the Gulf of California to the mouth of the Guadalupe River in Texas -- mimicking the present-day U.S.-Mexico border. Above this frontier, Rubi advised that only San Antonio and Santa Fe would be maintained, and he urged the complete abandonment of East Texas.
Rubi's recommendations were enacted in 1773 but were partially nullified by the return of settlers to the region and the founding of Nacogdoches (TX) in 1779. These recommendations proved to be fundamental to the rise of the United States as a world power, as Texas' lack of development forced the newly independent Mexico (1821) to open its borders to American settlers, who eventually revolted and created the Texas Republic in 1836. When Texas joined the U.S. in 1848, border conflicts quickly escalated to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) which allowed the U.S. to acquire the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. Nowadays, without Texas and California, the United States would be a mediocre power at best.

How did US President John Tyler try to avoid public debate on the annexation of Texas?
The US Congress recognized that in many cases, transactions by the US president should remain within the executive branch. With that said, in 1844, US President John Tyler was determined to avoid public debate concerning a treaty to annex Texas. He attempted to "sneak" the treaty of annexation through the Senate in executive session. This strategy was defeated and the attempt was published in the newspaper called the Evening Post.
