Answer:

In 1836, American settlers in Texas revolted against Mexico. The Texans were fighting for independence from Mexico, which they believed was being run by a corrupt government. The Texas Revolution was a series of conflicts fought between 1835 and 1836, in which the forces of the Republic of Texas defeated the Mexican Army. The conflict began with an uprising led by Sam Houston, who had been elected president at a convention held in San Felipe de Austin on February 23, 1836. In March, he sent his army to fight Santa Anna and his troops at the Battle of San Jacinto. After defeating Santa Anna's army, Houston declared independence from Mexico on April 21st.

Answer:

The cause of the Texas Revolution was the refusal of many Texas, both Anglo and Mexican, to accept the governmental changes mandated by "Siete Leyes" which placed almost total power in the hands of the Mexican national government and Santa Anna.
