Detailed explanation-1: -During the Mexican national era, enslaved people of African descent were brought to Texas by the Anglo-American settlers introduced into Texas by Stephen F. Austin and other empresarios, land agents authorized by the Mexican government to help settle Texas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Colonies continued to grow in TX during the Mexican National Era. By 1833, the population of TX was around 20, 000 people and the land was very cheap for settlers. Many settlers believed that TX would eventually become apart of the USA and wanted to own some land when that happened, so they became Empresarios.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anglo colonization was much more rapid than Spanish colonization. Texas represented a boundary of the Spanish Empire for centuries, a no-man’s land between Spanish and French holdings where there was little development and where many native tribes lived with little harassment.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Anglo-Americans were people who moved from the United States to Texas. They spoke English. Their parents or ancestors had come from northern Europe to America. Most of the Anglo-Americans did not come to Texas in large groups.
