Sounds as if you need to go read TX history around the time of Stephen Austin and Sam Houston. One really good way to do that (besides history books) is to read James Michener's book called <u>Texas</u>. Skip the frame story parts and probably the first main chapter.

Nonsense. The imported texans were trying to live under the constitution as all of Mexico was, the problem is Santa Anna declared that constitution (of 1824) invalid, and he put then himself as the law. Texans, and several Mexican provinces, revolted.

Where this idiot idea that the Texans were stealing land from the Mexicans comes from, I will never know. I hear if often, however, it seems revisionist to me, many Mexicans were revolting also. Were they trying to take land from other mexicans?
