1 sentence 7th grade

Answer 1

The Anglo-American settlement of Texas focused more on individual land ownership and farming for profit, while earlier Spanish and Mexican settlements emphasized communal land use and missions for converting Native Americans. Additionally, Anglo settlers often had different governmental ideas and wanted more self-governance compared to the top-down control of Spanish and Mexican rule.
