The Mexican Colonization law of 1842 was passed in order for foreigners to be able to come to America and colonize Mexico. This allowed people to be able to gain ownership of land however citizens were granted the first preference and then foreigners had their pick. The Colonization Law also guaranteed to people land security and to be exempted from taxes for four years. This helped in protecting Mexico from the colonization of the United States.

This is a secondary source because it helps the reader to understand how Mexico was colonized
