La Revolucion de Texas: La lucha por la independencia (The Texas Revolution: Fighting for Independence)

In 1833, the new Mexican president, Santa Anna, wanted to have more control over Texas. American colonists outnumbered Mexican-born people in Texas. Santa Anna wanted to stop more Americans from coming to Texas and he made strict laws for the region. But American and Tejano, or Mexican-born, colonists wanted independence from the Mexican government. Through a bloody Texas Revolution, the independent Republic of Texas was born.
