The war had an huge impact on the development of Texas. When Mexico gained independence, they wrote and approved of the Constitution of 1824"

Although Texas declared its independence as the Republic of Texas, Mexico refused to recognize Texas as a new country. In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain after the brutal and destructive Mexican War for Independence. Its territory included much of the former New Spain, including Spanish Texas.
