Detailed explanation-1: -Following their surrender, the Texans were taken prisoners, treated harshly, and marched some 2000 miles to a prison in Mexico City. After the considerable diplomatic controversy between Mexico and the United States, most of the prisoners were released the following April. The expedition thus ended in failure.
Detailed explanation-2: -The expedition was a disaster from the beginning. Water was scarce, and the group got lost on the high plains. Several men deserted and some died on the way. Finally, after a punishing three-month journey, the bedraggled group arrived in New Mexico.
Detailed explanation-3: -On December 19, 1836, the Texas Congress unilaterally set the boundaries of the republic. It declared the Rio Grande to be the southern boundary, even though Mexico had refused to recognize Texas independence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Texas president Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar asks Navarro to serve as commissioner of the Texas Santa Fé Expedition. The expedition aims to take control of the eastern part of New Mexico and make it part of the Texas Republic.
