Texas Independence Mexican Independence and Texan Land Grants Mexican Government offers former Spanish mission lands to settlers. Stephen F. Austin forms colony between Brazos and Colorado rivers. By 1830 over 20,000 settlers; more Anglos than Tejanos

Texas Revolution Cultural differences arise. Anglos speak English, not Spanish. Southerners bring slaves; Mexico abolished slavery. Rebellions break out; Texas Revolution begins 1835.

“Remember the Alamo In 1836, Santa Ana attacks the Alamo; all Anglos, any Mexicans die. Meanwhile, Texas declare independence, ratify constitution. Sam Houston, commander, leads attack. Treaty of Velasco grants independence; Houston elected president.

Texas Moves Toward the Union Texas, South want annexation; North fears slavery, war with Mexico. James K. Polk elected president in 1844, favors annexation and slavery. Texas enters Union in 1845; Mexico breaks off relations with U.S. Polk believes war will bring New Mexico, California to U.S. Mexico refuses to negotiate Texas border, sale of New Mexico and California.

War Begins with Mexico John C. Fremont leads military party to California, provokes war. Stephen Kearny marches to Santa Fe; New Mexico joins Union in 1846. American settlers proclaim Republic of California in 1846. Kearny joins Fremont; Mexican troops retreat from California.

America Wins the War U.S. victories lead to Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 1848. Texas border set at Rio Grande Mexico cedes western lands for $15 million. Franklin Pierce authorizes Gadsden Purchase, sets present border.

California Gold Rush The forty-niners or gold prospectors come from East, Mexico and overseas. 1848 gold discovered at Sutter’s Mill in California.

The Golden Economy Gold finances growth of farming, manufacturing, shipping, banking. San Francisco becomes supply center, major port.
