Summary: Texas and War with Mexico

Texas Revolution In 1821, Texas was part of Mexico. The land is cheap and many Americans settle in Texas. Mexico tried to stop them, but they are still here. Slavery violated Mexican law, but Americans brought slaves to Texas. Many American settlers and Teyanos, or Mexicans who live in Texas, would like to leave Mexico. They do not like the law enacted by Mexican President, Santa Ana. Teyanos and Texas decided to fight for independence

In 1836 Santa Ana took the troops to San Antonio and took the fortress called Alamo. I met Texas with less than 200 Texans and Teyanos. After that, the Texans declared independence, formed the Republic of Texas. Sam Houston led their troops to the sudden attack of Saint Jacques. They won Santa Ana. For his freedom, Santa Ana made Texas independence.

The Texans elected President Sam Houston and voted to join the United States. They also legalize slavery. President Van Buren opposed the merger. Mexico wants to protect Texas, and Van Buren fears it will cause war. He also did not want to add a new country to the alliance that made slavery possible. Those who want to merge Texas say this is the obvious destiny of the United States spreading from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In 1845, James Pork assumed office as President.

The Mexican-American war was held in Texas, New Mexico, California, and Mexico in the middle, the north, and the east.

The consolidation of Texas is the most obvious cause of the Mexican war. After independence from Mexico, the induction of Texas as a state of the United States quickly helped to destroy the worsening relationship between Mexico and the United States. Texas has just had a bloody war against Mexico. A savage fight at the border made Americans have a negative impression of Mexican people and their government. The Velasco Treaty made the state of Texas independent in 1836, but the Mexican claimed that this document was illegal. The hostile relationship between Texas and Mexico urged Texas to join the United States. On 4th July 1845, Congress approved the consolidation of Texas (Lee, Roger). Because Mexico blocked all diplomatic relations with the United States (Mint, Stephen) because of the expulsion of the American ambassador, the merger vote in Mexico caused great anger.
