Border fearing a rebellion as well as a

Anna took control of the Mexican

government. The Mexican were furious

about this. Antonio eliminated state

representation by replaced elected

representatives with his own appointees.

of the lost of state power. American

settlers and Tejanos were outraged and

rose up in a revolt. Conflicts over

immigration slavery, and state power led

to the Texas Revolution. Mexican

troops arrived at Santa Antonio to

restore Mexican Rule. One –hundred and

eighty-seven Texas rebels fought off

repeated attacks by Santa Anna’s troops.

victory.
