Detailed explanation-1: -James Long (February 9, 1793 – April 8, 1822) was an American filibuster who led an unsuccessful expedition to seize control of Spanish Texas between 1819 and 1821.
Detailed explanation-2: -The expedition crumbled later in the year, as Spanish troops drove the invaders out. Long returned to Texas in 1820 and attempted to reestablish his control. In October 1821, Long was defeated by Spanish troops, captured and sent to Mexico City where he was killed by a guard.
Detailed explanation-3: -Entrepreneurs like Philip Nolan and Peter Bean (filibusters) came to Texas in 1800 to make money capturing and selling wild horses. Unfortunately for them, this was against the law. Spanish troops captured several of them. The Spanish wanted to keep people like Nolan and Bean out of Texas.
Detailed explanation-4: -The new flag, known as the James Long Expedition Flag featured 13 alternating red and white stripes. This was done in order to attract more Americans to the cause. It was under this flag that Long returned to Texas in 1821.
