Decree Of 1830 Summary
Decree of 1830 Analysis

The Mexican government wanted to stop new people coming to Texas so that way it would be easier to control. This is were the idea of the Bustamante Decree began to surface from Mexican authorities. They did not want to lose control of Texas so that’s why they started the laws, the 11 th article states to restrict who comes into Texas and not to let immigrants joining Texas. So this would cause families to fall apart if the rest of their family can’t come in to Texas to live with them. As well as not letting new people in , it would make Texas slow at advancing and growing to become a better state. That is what Stephen f Austin believed and I absolutely agree with his argument towards The Decree. General Manuel

He says that Texas won’t grow any more if they just restrict more immigrants coming in. The reason is because if the same people live there they would die and who else would invent and change new things in Texas. Plus American citizens living in Mexico won’t be able to see the rest of their families ever again. Since the article 11 states that immigrants from other countries are restricted, this also includes America as well and those people can’t come to Texas to see their family. So as a result the 11th article in the decree was shot down for a short time, which helped American Citizens see their families.
The Bustamante Decree was a major part of our history and it has influenced the way we control immigrants coming to our Texas today. Even though Mexico thought it was a great idea for them, it just made look scared and helpless because we were taking their precious Texas. Stephen F. Austin was the main figure in stopping the Bustamante Decree from impacting the future of Texas in a negative way. So therefore I agreed on his argument because if he don’t stop the restriction on immigration, then we would not have had the great Texas

    Stephen F. Austin’s father (Moses Austin) was the original person to pursue a settlement in Texas (which was part of Mexico). In 1821, he had been granted a significant amount of land in the territory, but died shortly after. That was when Stephen F. Austin became the one to move forward with the settlement. It originally attracted 297 US families and continued to grow. By 1830, the Mexican government was greatly concerned with the large population of US citizens moving to Texas, so they closed the border. When this happened, Austin took action to convince Mexico’s President to reopen the border, because many Texan settlers still had families in America who wanted to settle there. The President of Mexico listened to him and did as he asked.…

    The settlement of Texas by Anglo Americans and other colonists changed the face of Texas with respect to the issue of slavery. In 1829 President Vicente Guerrero issued a directive abolishing slavery throughout the nation. He was concerned about Anglo colonization and believed that depriving the Anglos of their enslaved workforce would discourage Anglos from moving into Texas. A group of people with their own selfish agenda however, were able to get legislation passed that exempt Texas from the Guerrero decree abolishing slavery. This group of people was known as the Viesca…

    The first reason the United States was justified in going to war with Mexico is because they were in desperate need of land. The U.S’s population was growing rapidly due to its increase in birth rate and immigration (Document E). This growing population meant there wasn't enough land for everyone to live comfortably, which meant having to move west. The U.S would not just take land if they did not intend to put it to good use. They're moving their people into Texas because they need more space, which is a good reason why they had to move down…

    Around the 1840s, the US aspired to annex Texas and incorporate it as a state within the Union. However, gaining Texas had its consequences as it lead a war with Mexico. William Ellery Channing, an abolitionist and pacifist, saw that the policy regarding obtaining Texas would led the “nation into war” as it severed as “encroachment,” and a way “to propagate the curse of slavery.” (Doc 2) The annexation of Texas was seen invading Texas’ link to Mexico as in document one, the American Review stated the annexation “shall dissolve the slight bounds that now link the province to Mexico” (Doc 1) This served as a situation for Mexico, who had refused to recognize Texas’ independence and its takeover by the United States, although President James Polk, a strong supporter of the annexation of Texas as seen in his Inaugural Address- where he stated “none can fail to see the danger to our safety and future peace if Texas remains an independent states,” attempted to aid Mexico in coming to an understanding. Therefore, the Mexican War broke out, out of the effort for Texas to break free its bond to Mexico. Eventually, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war, and came to an agreement that included setting boundaries for Texas and the acquisition of new territory- California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona,…

    In the Revolutionary Era, our country knew that laws were necessary to protect our given rights and freedoms. Laws today still protect those rights, and it is our duty to live by them and defend them. Throughout history, unstable laws have been tested and found either vital for our humanity or detrimental. It is our jobs as citizens to abide by these laws as well as prove the necessity of how they are predicated. Our world is constantly changing in terms of social and political terms. Some may argue that the only way to preserve peace is to ignore worldly change and concur and pursue the government's laws.…

    The Texas Revolution occurred because of a series of events that began long before the first shots fired at the Battle of Gonzales. In the summer of 1820 a 59 year-old Missourian named Moses Austin asked the Spanish Authorities for a large land tract which he wanted to use to attract American Pioneers. To manys surprise in early 1821 the Spanish government gave him permission to settle 300 families. Spain had welcomed Americans to help develop the land and to provide a buffer against the illegal U.S. immigrants who were causing problems. Although Moses Austin died and was not able to see his goal reached his son Stephen F. Austin stepped into his shoes and promised to carry out his fathers goal of colonizing Texas. By the end of 1824 Austin had attracted over 242 colonists to Texas and persuaded the Mexican government that the best way to attract Americans was to give out land grants. By the 1830's there were 16,000 Americans settled in Texas. As the population grew, the Mexican government grew skeptical of the growing American population. Mexico had feared the U.S. was planning to gain the province by revolution. Due to the diverse differences in language and culture their was bitter conflict between the Native Mexicans and the colonists. To reclaim the authority over Texas the Mexican government reestablished its constitutional prohibition against slavery, restricted trade with the United States, and put a end to further American Immigration. These actions possibly could have provoked the Texas Revolution. In 1832 General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna became Mexico's president. Many colonists hoped that Antonio would make Texas a self-governed state within the United States. Once in power, Santa Anna was less truthful than many Texans were led to believe. In mid 1834 Santa Anna overthrew Mexico's constitutional government, abolished state governments, and pronounced himself as dictator. When…

    Texas Policy Report

    Texas has a reputation throughout history of differing views from the federal government in laws and politics pertaining to social, fiscal, and educational issues. On the whole, Texas operates as a largely conservative state. Because of this, policy-making is often right wing. With the institution of a Democratic, liberal president, the State’s dissent from the Federal government has only increased over certain issues. One hot topic of the 2012 Presidential election was immigration. With the major increase in immigration, it is no surprise that the issue was so emphasized. Between 2000 and 2011 there was a 30 percent increase in the foreign-born population. The immigrant population grew from 31.1 million to 40.04 million. (americanprogress.org) Texas has a special interest in this subject due to the fact that they have a population of over 4 million immigrants. Texas is among the top three states with foreign born individuals living within its borders, giving the state a vested interest in the nation’s immigration policy. (Orrenius et al., 1)…

    Like most states, Texas faces a host of problems; that stem from both cultural and environment issues, but unlike most states Texas is a state that shares a 1,254-mile long border with Mexico, a country that has their massive problems. Geography alone has provided Texas with problems that are difficult in the best of times, but in this age of a huge drug problem in the United States along with the rise of international terrorism, those problems have grown exponentially. While it is easy to sit back in the United States and spout out rhetoric claiming that all immigrants should be wholly welcomed, the situation is much different when it is as up and close and personal as it is in Texas.…
