Sam Houston Texas Annexation (1845) ContextThe Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 - April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (HispanicTexans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico.When Mexico founded the province of Texas in 1821, the land was very sparsely populated, so Texans actively recruited settlersfrom the United States to help grow the region's population. Soon, Stephen Austin-after whom Austin, Texas is named-wasselling plots of land to American settlers from a large land grant his father had received from the Mexican government; meanwhile,other settlers from the United States-especially from the American South-were moving to Mexican Texas.By 1830, there were 7,000 settlers from the United States living in Mexican Texas. But tensions between the Mexican governmentand settlers from the United States grew as Mexico unsuccessfully attempted to halt further immigration and settlers pushed backagainst Mexican legal codes. These regulatory laws required those living in Mexico-including those living in Texas-to becomeMexican, convert to Roman Catholicism, file legal documents in Spanish, and end the practice of slavery. In reality, however,Mexico continued to allow settlers from the United States to bring slaves into the territory as "indentured servants."In 1835, settlers from the United States who lived in Texas formed a provisional government, and in 1836 called for independence.In turn, the Mexican government deployed the Mexican leader Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and his troops into the region in aneffort to regain political control.The settlers in Texas from the United States, together with the active support of Tejanos (Texans of Spanish origin), sought to holdtheir ground against Santa Anna's advancing troops. In March of 1836, following a thirteen day siege, Santa Anna's 5,000 troopsattacked and killed all 187 American and Tejano defenders at the battle of the Alamo--a mission-fortress outside San Antonio."Remember the Alamo" became a battle cry as Texans desperately fought but lost the battle.However, the following month, Sam Houston led his forces to defeat Santa Anna's army at the Battle of San Jacinto, and forcedSanta Anna to recognize Texan independence. Sam Houston, a previous Tennessee senator during the Jacksonian Democracy andprominent military figure, became the first president of the Republic of Texas. The American government hesitated from acceptingTexas as a formal state because of the issue of slavery. Therefore, Texas was nicknamed the "Lone Star" because it remainedseparate from America from 1836-1845.During the years leading up to Texas becoming the 28th state, pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces battled over the issue of slavery'sexpansion into Texas. Highlighted divisions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces that would, in 1861, lead to the Civil War. Itwas not until December 1845 that, under President James K. Polk, Texas formally achieved statehood.Questions: Answer the following questions in your notebook
