Question

How did Father Hidalgo impact the reoccupation of Texas by Spain?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Hidalgo wanted to reestablish missions in East Texas but was getting no interest from Spain so he wrote to the French Governor of Louisiana to ask if he would allow Hidalgo to set up a mission among the Tejas. The French Governor is interested in the proposition and sends St. Denis to conduct negotiations with the Spanish. The Spanish, however, are unaware that the French traders have been invited to the Spanish territory and they arrest St Denis. The interest by the French traders in the region, invited by Hidalgo, causes Spain to assert its authority over the region and establish several missions led by Hidalgo.
