However, there was also a reported servant strike in 1907 over pay.

Moses Austin received permission from Spain in 1820 to settle 300 Anglo-American families in Texas, with each family receiving 200 acres of land. However, Moses fell ill while returning home to Missouri to recruit settlers and asked his son Stephen to lead the colony instead.
