The most likely group to bring enslaved people to Texas prior to the Civil War would be white immigrants from other Southern states. This migration was part of the broader pattern of Southern expansion, where settlers from the southern United States moved westward, bringing their enslaved labor force with them to work on plantations and in other agricultural enterprises in Texas.
