Answer:
Explanation:
Slavery was against Mexican law, but Americans brought slaves to Texas. Many American settlers and Tejanos, or Mexicans who lived in Texas, wanted to break away from Mexico. They did not like laws made by Santa Anna, Mexico's president. The Tejanos and Texans decided to fight for independence.
The Mexican authorities grudgingly went along with it, but the issue occasionally flared up, especially when any of the enslaved people sought freedom by running away. By the 1830s, many settlers were afraid that the Mexicans would take their enslaved workers away, which made them favor independence.
