Question

Which statement would a Texian most likely have made about slavery under Mexican rule?

Answer 1

A Texian most likely would have made the statement that they were unhappy with the Mexican rule because Mexico had abolished slavery in 1829, and Texans wanted to keep their slaves. Thus, they may have argued that the Mexican government was imposing restrictions on their rights to hold and own slaves, and that this was an infringement on their economic and social interests.
