Question

How did the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition affect the Spanish colony of Texas

Answer 1

Early in August 1812, Gutiérrez and Magee led an expedition into Texas to establish the Republic of the North at the expense of Spain. Magee led their "army," largely composed of adventurers and more residents of the Neutral Ground—the kind of folks who liked an absence of law enforcement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gutiérrez-Magee or Magee-Gutiérrez expedition of 1812–13 was an early filibustering expedition against Spanish Texas. ... Conferences with American officials brought only vague promises of aid, but Gutiérrez was led to believe that the United States would not hinder the organization of the expedition against Texas.

Answer 2

The Gutiérrez-Magee or Magee-Gutiérrez expedition of 1812–13 was an early filibustering expedition against Spanish Texas. It took place during a time of unrest in Mexico against Spanish rule. In January 1811 Juan Bautista de las Casas led a rebellion movement against the royalists in San Antonio, seizing Spanish Governor Manuel Maria de Salcedo and his military staff. In March, royalists led a counter-attack, captured Casas, and killed him.
