On December 16, 1826, Hayden
Edwards declared his colony independent of Mexico. He took over the Old Stone Fort at
Nacogdoches. Mexico sent soldiers to restore order and the Fredonians gave up before the Mexican military force arrived.

In 1928 the Mexican government sent General Mier y Teran to Texas to inspect the condition of the colonies. He found that the Anglo settlers outnumbered Mexicans 10 to
1. He also reported that many
Anglos were doing unauthorized business with the
United States.

This decree outlawed immigration from the United
States to Texas and canceled all empresarial grants that had not been fulfilled. It also placed heavy custom duties on goods imported from the United
States.
President Bustamante

In May of 1832 Mexican Col.
Bradburn places William Travis and Patrick Jack in jail. Anglo settlers protested and demanded the immediate release of both
Travis and Jack. Bradburn promised to release them but broke his promise. Settlers sent
John Austin to Brazoria to retrieve a cannon to aid in their release.
Anahuac

While the settlers waited for Austin to return from
Brazoria they drew up a set of resolutions which explained their actions. The resolutions stated that the settlers were loyal Mexicans opposing the actions of
President Bustamante and expressed their support of
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

Austin had to fight his way back to Anahuac. After loading the cannon on a boat he and his men sailed down the Brazos to the Gulf of Mexico. When they reached Velasco Col Ugartecha refused to let them pass. Fighting broke out. There were casualties on both sides.

In October of 1832 delegates met in San Felipe de
Austin to decide what they should do. They decided to petition Mexico for Texas to become a independent
Mexican state and ask Mexico to repeal the Law of April
6, 1830. Stephen F. Austin was sent to San Antonio with the request. In April of 1833 the group met again.

In December of 1833 Stephen F
Austin was arrested and placed in a Mexico City jail. Mr. Austin had written a letter that had been viewed by the Mexican government as treasonous.

On October 2, 1835, Texas settlers at Gonzales refuse to return a cannon to the Mexican army. The confrontation results in the Mexicans retreating back to San Antonio with the Texans in pursuit.

On November 4, 1835 delegates met in San Felipe de
Austin to discuss what they should do. They passed the
Declaration of the People calling for the ousting of
Santa Anna and a return to the Constitution of 1824.

On December 5, 1835 Ben
Milam led about 500
Texas volunteers into San
Antonio to defeat Gen
Cos and the Mexican forces. Gen Cos agreed to retreat south of the Rio
Grande and not to return to Texas.
“Who will go with old Ben Milam to San
Antonio?”
