| Summary |
"Land distribution to American farmers and ranchers was introduced in order to strengthen the postwar economy following Mexico's independence from Spain. Once welcomed as fellow countrymen, the settlers in 1835 revolted against the government's harsh Centralist rulings. When Texas was granted U.S. statehood and 11 American soldiers were ambushed and murdered, Congress declared war on Mexico"-- Provided by publisher. |
