The statement that best illustrates the political division between Texans during the Mexican War for Independence is:

I and II only.

Explanation:

  • Statement I describes a political change and conflict within the leadership of Texas, reflecting divisions among those who supported Gutiérrez de Lara and those who did not.
  • Statement II indicates that rebels disobeyed orders from the Texas president, which suggests a lack of unity and potential divisions in loyalty among the rebels.

Statement III, while it mentions collaboration between Tejano and Anglo rebels, does not illustrate a political division; rather, it highlights a cooperative effort. Therefore, the correct response is I and II only.
