Essay:

After Mexico was free from Spain what kind of governments did it have over the next 15 years? Politically what did the centralist want? What did the federalist want? How did Austin and the empresarios fit into the political problems of Mexico? How did the Law of April 6, 1830 come about, that attempts to stop immigration to Texas.

Describe life in Texas during the Mexican Period for the different ethnic groups.

What were the problems of 1832 and 1833 between Texas and the government of Mexico all about? How did Austin and Travis fit into these problems? Why did the relationship between Texas and Mexico improve?

Santa Anna by 1834 forms a centralist government. How does this government cause problems in Mexico and help bring about Texas independence? Why do the people in Texas start out fighting for Mexican Constitution of 1824 end up starting the Republic of Texas?

What did Mexican forces have to overcome just to get into the war in the first place. How did Houston end up winning the war for Texas after Texas lost most of the major battles? Why did battles like the Alamo and Goliad take place?
