Mexican Independence from Spain

Coahuila overshadowed Texas in government, which bothered many Texans.

Perks!

The National Colonization Law of 1824 allowed each Mexican state to set its own colonization policies.

New U.S. immigrants could not establish colonies near the nation’s borders or along the coast.

Uh oh...

Too late.

In a very short amount of time, Americans/Anglos outnumbered Tejanos/Hispanics in Texas 10 to 1.
