    The Role Of Stephen F. Austin's Settlement In Mexico

    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.…

    How Did The Spanish Establish Colonies On The Borderlands

    The only mission that took root in Texas was one that eventually became the city of San Antonio. Spain began colonizing California in 1769, and its missions there were especially important, Missionary Junípero Serra established several missions, including one that eventually became the city of San Diego. Altogether, the Spanish founded almost 20 missions in California between 1769 and 1800. Life in the Spanish Missions, thousands of Native Americans worked at missions, farming, building churches, and learning crafts. Treatment of Native Americans: Although they were not overworked, Native Americans did not have control over their lives in the missions, if they violated mission rules, they often were imprisoned or…

    Native Americans in California Missions

    Spanish wanted to colonize some of America, just like the Europeans. Building religious based Missions all throughout California was a way for them to maintain ultimate social, political, and economic control. Spanish explorers arrived on the border of California during the 16th century. The very first Franciscan mission was built in San Diego during 1769. By 1833, twenty two Spanish Missions existed from Southern California to Northern California. Native Americans made up about one-third of those who lived and worked at the Missions. There were an estimated 310,000 Indians living in California during the 16th century. The Spanish provided the Native Americans with the necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Although the California Missions had the right intentions of providing for the Native Americans, the Spanish acted in an inhumane and unfair way.…

    The Creation and Annexation of Texas

    Texas took many steps toward independence and annexation. This all began with the idea of Manifest Destiny, which was the thought that God wanted white men to take land for their own pleasing. This idea was spread by Mountain Men, who in search for beaver and other furs for trade, probed the Rockies to explore more of the western part of the country. The most famous Mountain Man, Jedediah Smith, crossed the Great Basin and the Sierra Nevada to reach the California trail, which linked the U.S. to the Pacific coast. In 1842 an official government expedition led by John C. Frémont set across the western country, following these trails made by the Mountain Men. Most of nothing was found on this expedition but Frémont’s vivid and romantic accounts of the west drew settlers to the far west. Soon wagons of courageous and hopeful pioneers were making the demanding 2,000 mile and about 5 month journey west. With this great migration to the west American expansionists were seeking new territory. Though Mexico had most of the control of the south and west territories. Many provinces were located throughout the land the American migrants were hoping to settle in. Of all the provinces of Mexico, Texas was most vulnerable to the U.S. expansion. Texas had abundant, fertile land, and lay close to U.S. borders. It had a small population of Hispanics known as Tejanos to protect the province. To further grow and protect Texas, Mexico agreed to allow Americans settle in Texas. In return Americans had to become Mexican citizens, to worship as Roman Catholics, and to accept the Mexican constitution, which banned slavery. Mexico hoped that this would convert the Americans from a potential threat to an economic asset. Led by Stephen F. Austin, Americans began to settle east of San Antonio, in Austin founded and named by Austin. The Americans sought the economic opportunity of good farmland in large amounts, like many other settlers on other frontiers. By 1835, Texas was home to about…

    Anglo Texans greeted the end of the U.S-Mexican War in 1848 with the hope that federal troops would at last put an end to violent encounters with Indians and Mexicans along the state's western and southern borders and open the vast frontier to settlement. All too quickly the lure of nearly free and unbroken land attracted a multitude of pioneers. So rapidly, in fact, that it thrust some white settlers far beyond the protection of the eight new military installations established at war's end, running from Fort Worth in North Texas to Fort Duncan on the Rio Grande.…
