The document summarizes events in Texas in the 1830s leading up to the Texas Revolution for independence. It describes how Texans held two conventions, in 1832 and 1833, to protest Mexican policies restricting immigration and taxation. The conventions called for allowing more U.S. immigration, separating Texas from Coahuila, and establishing public schools. Stephen F. Austin lobbied for the conventions' resolutions but was later arrested in Mexico for advocating that Texas organize its own government.
