7.3A Trace the development of events that led to the Texas Revolution, including the Fredonian Rebellion, the Mier y Terán Report, the Law of April 6, 1830, the Turtle Bayou Resolutions, and the arrest of Stephen F. Austin
Lots of important that events led to the Texas Revolution are the Fredonian Rebellion, Mier y Terán Report, the Law of April 6, 1830, fighting at Anahuac, the Turtle Bayou Resolutions, and the arrest of Stephen F. Austin.
