slavery. Mexico didn’t approve of owning slaves, while Americans were used to having them. In 1829, slavery was outlawed in Texas, which was ignored by settlers. In response to this, Mexico put immigration laws in place, which were also ignored. The Texan settlers’ lack of cooperation and obedience with Mexico had begun to swirl out of control.
