How do you think the arrest of Stephen F. Austin and the letters that he wrote affected the delegates and people of Texas. Do you think it motivated them in their cause to become independent or do you think it discouraged them? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Finally in frustration, Austin wrote to the San Antonio town council in October 1833 encouraging them to join with other towns to organize a local government independent of Coahuila. The town council turned Austin’s letter over to the Mexican government. Mexican officials considered Austin’s words an act of treason.
