Question

Summarizing the role of slavery in the American settlement of Texas, how Texas became a state, and important events of the Mexican- American War.​

Answer 1

As the Texas Revolution began in 1835, some enslaved people sided with Mexico, which provided for freedom. In the fall of 1835, a group of almost 100 enslaved people staged an uprising along the Brazos River after they heard rumors of approaching Mexican troops. Whites in the area defeated and severely punished them. Texas was annexed by the United States in 1845 and became the 28th state. Until 1836, Texas had been part of Mexico, but in that year a group of settlers from the United States who lived in Mexican Texas declared independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why was slavery a point of conflict between the Mexican government and Anglo-American settlers in Texas? The Mexican government required Anglo-American settlers to emancipate their slaves.

How did Texas settlers' view of Mexico and its people contribute to the history of Texas in the 1830s? American slaveholders in Texas distrusted the Mexican government's reluctant tolerance of slavery and wanted Texas to be a new U.S. slave state.
