Answer:

A) Anglo-Americans were attracted to the inexpensive land available in Texas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Anglo-Americans were attracted to the inexpensive land in Hispanic Texas in the 1820s after revolts broke out in the early 1820s, Congress was dissolved and a dictatorship began.

However, in 1824, the government of Mexico wanted people to settle in their land with the aim of protecting them against external aggressors, so they offered generous land grants to any people who would come and settle there, so the Anglo-Americans went because of the inexpensive land available in Texas.
