Not long after colonization began in Texas,
conflicts erupted between the Mexican government
and the colonists. Even though Mexican officials
attempted to control the conflicts, their efforts
served to anger and unify the colonists.

conflict today between the United States and
Mexico.

  that the United States would use the Anglo
  colonists to acquire Texas by purchase or
  revolution.

  democracy in Tejas with citizens able to vote and
  granted limited rights.
• Continuous immigration of Americans into Tejas
  encouraged democratic government, including

• In 1826, Haden and Benjamin W. Edwards ignited
  the Fredonian Rebellion, but were suppressed by
  Mexican soldiers supported by Stephen F. Austin's
  colonies.

• The colonists held the Conventions of 1832 and
  1833 and asked for a number of privileges and
  reforms
• In 1830, a law granting exemptions for tariffs
  had expired causing friction between the Mexican
  government and Anglo colonists.
• Both conventions adopted petitions asking for
  extension of the tariff exemptions.
• When the federal system was instituted in 1824,
  Congress united Coahuila and Texas as a single
  state, both conventions declared that Texas was
  able to maintain a state government and asked for
  separation.
• Apprehension over heavy Anglo-American
  colonization led Congress to pass the Law of
  April 6, 1830, forbidding immigrants to settle in
  Texas. The conventions petitioned for its repeal.
• The Resolutions of the Convention of 1832 were
  never delivered.

  1833 that
• repealed the immigration restriction of the law
  of April 6, 1830,
• held the tariff plea in suspension, and took no
  action on the petition for statehood.
• On his way home, Austin was arrested and held a
  prisoner in Mexico until July 1835.
• Upon his return from Mexico, Austin gave his
  approval to the Consultation and was made
  chairman of a committee of safety and
  correspondence at San Felipe.
• At Copano Bay, Gen. Martín Perfecto de Cos
  announced his intention to punish those who led
  the uprising at Anahuac and in his proclamation
  was the hint that he would drive the American
