Detailed explanation-1: -Their greatest source of discontent, though, was the Mexican government’s 1829 abolition of slavery. Most American settlers were from southern states, and many had brought slaves with them. Mexico tried to accommodate them by maintaining the fiction that the slaves were indentured servants.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the 19th century there were streams of migration into Texas. Between 1821 and 1836 an estimated 38, 000 settlers, on promise of 4, 000 acres (1, 620 hectares) per family for small fees, trekked from the United States into the territory.
Detailed explanation-3: -It stemmed from the annexation of the Republic of Texas by the U.S. in 1845 and from a dispute over whether Texas ended at the Nueces River (the Mexican claim) or the Rio Grande (the U.S. claim).
Detailed explanation-4: -By 1830, there were 7, 000 settlers from the United States living in Mexican Texas. But tensions between the Mexican government and settlers from the United States grew as Mexico unsuccessfully attempted to halt further immigration and settlers pushed back against Mexican legal codes.
