Arrested Stephen F. Austin Other issues: customs, tithes, garrison of troops

Texas' Independence Mexico ordered the Texan militia to return a cannon it held in Gonzales Battle of Gonzales – 2 Mexican soldiers died and 1 American. Mexican troops retreated Santa Anna led a Mexican Army north into Texas. Warned Pres. Jackson against US interference. March 2, 1836 Texas declares independence at Washington-on-the- Brazos

Annexation On March 1, 1845 Congress passed and President John Tyler signed a bill annexing Texas to the US James K. Polk took office immediately after on a platform of Manifest Destiny But what was Texas?

Polk Pokes Meanwhile, Polk attempted to purchase modern-day California and New Mexico from Mexico for around $25 million Mexico refused the offer and insisted that the Nueces River was the southern border of Texas Polk sent troops into southern Texas south of the Nueces R. to provoke Mexico and defend Texas Mexican troops attacked a small regiment of US soldiers in 1846 US declares war – Mexican War

Mexican War, 1846 - 1848 Main US troops led by Zachary Taylor Mexican troops led by Santa Anna Unpopular with Whigs and the North Complete US victory, even capturing Mexico City Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Rio Grande became the southern border Gave US CA, NM, AZ, UT, & CO US gave Mexico $15 million
