The Texas Revolt
A. Permission to settle:
Starting in 1821, Spain and then an Independent Mexico had granted permission to
Catholic (North) Americans to settle the sparsely populated territory of Texas.
B. Incentives for settlement:
Soon there was a great influx of Americans settlers into Texas. The land was practically
free--only 10¢ an acre as opposed to $1.25 an acre for inferior land in the U.S. Each male
colonists over twenty-one years of age was allowed to purchase 640 acres for himself, 320
acres for his wife, 160 acres for each child and, significantly, an additional 80 acres for
each slaves that he brought with him.
The numerical dominance of the American settlers:
1827: By 1827 there were some 12,000 United States citizens living in Texas, while there
were only 7,000 Mexicans.
1835: By 1835 the immigrant population had reached 30,000, while the Mexican population
had barely passed 7,800
The Mexican response to the influx of
Americans
1. Slavery was abolished:
The first important piece of legislation designed to prevent a further weakening of Mexican
control was President Guerrero's emancipation proclamation of 1829. Because slavery as
not important anywhere else in the republic, the measure was clearly directed at Texas.
Although manumission was not immediately enforced, it was hoped that the decree itself
would make Mexico less attractive to colonists from the U.S. South and would thus arrest
immigration.
2. Forbiddance of further immigration:
The colonization law of 1830 explicitly forbade all future immigration into Texas from the
United States and called for the strengthening of Mexican garrisons, the improvement of
economic ties between Texas and the remainder of Mexico by the establishment of a new
coastal trade, and the encouragement of increased Mexican colonization.

• 1835 document declaring independence from Mexico
• Outlines grievances against the Mexican government: lack

Expansion 1800-1848

Life in the Early Republic
2. Essential Questions
• How did innovations in industry, technology
and transportation affect Americans’ lives?
• What explains the difference in Northern and
Southern social and economic development
and how did it affect political unity?

7. Unifying of a Nation
• Advances in communications and
transportation enabled Americans to expand
westward.
• These advances also united the country and
allowed information and products to be
transported greater distance in shorter
periods of time.
9. Essential Questions
• Why did the idea of race and the practice of
racism develop along with African slavery in
America?
• Could the South have thrived without slavery?
13. Essential Questions
• What were the costs and benefits of westward
expansion? Why did so many Americans move
west?
• How should we understand the West and the
frontier? Was it a place of
democracy, equality, and adventure, or rather
a place of oppression and conquest?
• Did the “pioneer spirit” stop once the nation
spanned the continent?
14. Reasons for Westward Expansion
A. Economic factors
1) Exhaustion of good soil by cotton farmers led to search for new
land
2) Effects of the Panic of 1837. Many settlers pushed west as they
faced economic losses.
B. Psychological factors--manifest destiny. Sentiment that the U.S.
should rule from coast to coast (and maybe pole to pole) became a
key part of national thinking.
C. Attractive regions for new settlement--east Texas, California, Oregon
D. Advertising the West
1) Santa Fe traders brought back tales of the West
2) Mountain men--fur trappers and traders

18. Essential Questions
• Why did some Native Americans fight against
white society while others tried to assimilate?
Which was the right choice?
• Can the federal government ever make
amends for its treatment of Native
Americans?
19. Cultural Assimilation of
Native Americans
1. Assimilation involved the
following:
• Settling the land and
farming
• Adopting Christianity
• Learning English and
European cultural norms
• Abandoning traditional
tribal cultures
2. Assimilations efforts included:
• Indian Removal Act 1830:
Allowed the U.S.
government to forcibly
relocate natives to
reservation lands in the
west
• Dawes Act of 1887:
Allotted plots of land to
individual natives in
exchange for abandoning
tribal control.
