Answer:

Haden Edwards wanted his son-in-law, Chichester Chaplin, to win the election for alcalde to be able to manage the Nacogdoches´settlers. However, Juan Antonio Saucedo overturned the election results that had Chaplin as the winner, proclaiming Norris as the alcalde.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposing the new authority, and especially the Mexican government taking away his land grants, Edwards created the Fredonian Rebellion to secede from Mexico.
