Correct choices:
- prohibited freedom of worship
- stationed troops at the Texas/U.S. border
- tried to free the slaves in Texas
- placed import taxes on American goods
- stopped American immigration to Texas
Why: Mexico enforced Catholicism (limiting Protestant worship), enforced the 1829 abolition of slavery and restrictions on slavery in its territories, passed the Law of April 6, 1830 to halt further U.S. immigration and impose customs duties, and sent troops/garrisons into Texas to enforce these measures. These actions enraged the mostly Protestant, slaveholding Anglo settlers and helped fuel the Texas revolt.
