Colonization and The Texas Rebellion
Anglo-American Colonization in Mexican Tejas
Mexico courted foreign immigrants to help populate the frontier province of Tejas
generous land grants that were much cheaper than the United States
attractive, especially after the Panic of 1819
1821-35, 30000 immigrated from the United States
legally and illegally
mostly from the slave states
peaking 1830-35 (cotton boom years)
brought slavery and cotton with them
about 5000 were enslaved Black people
Anglo-Texans saw slavery and cotton as the key to Texas’s future, but…
Mexico was abolishing slavery
compromises/loopholes were carved out for Texas
tensions still rose
The Texas Rebellion and Republic
1835, centralizing reforms to Mexico’s constitution led to a rebellion in Texas
rebels feared a stronger government would force Texas to end slavery
rebels appealed to the United States for support
President Jackson refused
private United States money and manpower poured in
Declaration of Independence, March 1836
unlikely rebel victory, April 1836
annexing Texas to the United States as another slave state was too controversial to pass in Congress
so, Texas stayed independent
Mexico refused to recognize independence
United States immigration continues, 1836-45:
anglo population in Texas rises by 400%
the enslaved population in Texas rises 800%
