Step-by-step explanation:

After Moses Austin died in 1821, Stephen Austin won recognition of the impresario grant from the newly independent state of Mexico. He did not like to work at his enemy's territory. He also helped ensure the introduction of slavery into Texas despite the attempts of the Mexican government to ban the institution.
