Conflicts between Mexicans and new settlers in Texas primarily arose from cultural differences, land disputes, and governance issues. Many American settlers, attracted by land grants, often disregarded Mexican laws and customs, leading to tensions over issues like slavery and language. The desire for more autonomy and the settlers' push for independence culminated in the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), ultimately resulting in Texas declaring independence from Mexico. These conflicts highlighted the broader struggles over territorial expansion and cultural identity in the region.
