Most Texans initially supported Santa Anna in his bid to overthrow Mexican President Bustamante because they viewed him as a champion of federalism and a promoter of local governance, which aligned with their desire for greater autonomy. His promise to restore the 1824 Constitution, which favored states' rights, resonated with many settlers who sought more control over their affairs. Additionally, his charismatic leadership and populist appeal garnered significant support among various factions in Texas. However, this support waned as his authoritarian tendencies became apparent after he seized power.
