Answer 1

The Gutierrez-Magee Expedition was aimed at continuing the rebellion initiated by Father Hidalgo, within the broader context of American expansionism and the desire of Texans to align with the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gutierrez-Magee Expedition was formed to Bcontinue the rebellion started by Father Hidalgo. The context of these events lies in the early 19th century, when American expansionists sought to take land from the vulnerable Mexican nation and incorporate Texas into the United States, as the settlers had a strong belief in Manifest Destiny.

Hostilities and uprisings such as the Republic of Fredonia led by empresario Haden Edwards and later initiatives strengthened the resolve for rebellion. Despite various measures taken by the Mexican government to weaken the influence of Texans, including outlawing slavery and encouraging Mexican immigration, American settlers continued to move to Texas, further igniting the revolutionary spirit that aimed at independence from Mexico and annexation to the United States.

The Gutiérrez-Magee or Magee-Gutiérrez expedition of 1812–13 was an early filibustering expedition against Spanish Texas. The expedition took place against the background of growing unrest in Mexico against Spanish rule.
