Detailed explanation-1: -When Texas emerged as an independent republic (1836-1845), the new nation faced tremendous challenges: the nation was deeply in debt and Mexico, refusing to recognize Texas independence, threated to reconquer the region. The United States had also refused Texas’s request to be annexed to the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unrest in its Army, financial crisis, conflict with Indians, dissension over the location of the capital, integration of public education and clashes with Mexico were some of the problems the new Republic of Texas had to face.
Detailed explanation-3: -– the Republic was deeply in debt because of the Revolution and the fact that the money they had previously used was Mexican money – they literally had no money, not even printed currency! that had fought in the Revolution wanted and needed to be paid.
Detailed explanation-4: -The country also had problems because its currency was not interest-bearing. Throughout all this time the small republic had debts to the United States, including a number of individual states such as Pennsylvania, and a number of European nations.
