In 1823, Mexico passed the General Colonization Law opening Texas to colonization and presenting impresario grants to individuals hoping to help encourage settlement and economic growth in the remote Mexican land of Texas. The Mexican government, later on, adopted the Constitution of 1824 making Texas joined with Mexico as part of the larger state of Coahuila y Tejas.

The adoption of the Texas Plural Executive Model was influenced by several factors and historical circumstances. First, Texans' experiences under Mexican rule instilled a deep-seated distrust of concentrated executive authority, leading them to disperse power among multiple elected officials to prevent potential abuses of power or tyranny. Second, the framers of the Texas Constitution were guided by republican ideals, emphasizing the importance of limiting government power and safeguarding individual liberties. Distributing executive authority is seen as a means to uphold these principles. Third, the Texas Transformation, coming full circle in the freedom of Texas from Mexico in 1836, molded the political ethos of the new Republic of Texas, with Texan renegades expecting to lay out an administration that would forestall the centralization of force and safeguard residents' privileges.
The Hero’s Journey of Texas History: Revolution and Republic In Texas History, there is nothing more well known than the Alamo and the Texas revolution. Almost everyone has heard the stories of Davy Crockett and his coonskin cap, or Jim Bowie and his famous Bowie knife. The Texas revolution was full of so many Texas legends and larger than life characters, so it only makes sense that the Hero’s Journey, a literary trope all about heroes overcoming obstacles, would apply to the riveting events of the Texas revolution.

As a voting member in the debate over annexation of Texas and war with Mexica, I voted yes because I belive that Texas offers a lot to the U.S. First, for the U.S to grow, the people need to expand westward. Texas is the next place to go to for westward expansion. Second, England may want that land, but we can't let them have it. If they get the land, they may want to go to war with us. It is easier to go to war when you are on the same land, not fighting over the ocean.

Davis first begins with a firm investigation of the international events and politics leading up to the 1836 revolutionary war. The book reminds us how Spain was greatly weakened by the Napoleonic wars, the revolutions that produced the United States of America, how New Spain was in rebellion since 1811 and was ruined by its revolutionary war. The great historical figures are also covered, with both their positive and negative traits, such as Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and William Travis. Davy Crockett is not covered too much due to the fact that he did not have a lot to do with Texas Independence, but rather just the fight at the Alamo. The book also talks about the roles that the Tejanos, Anglo-Texans and non-Texan Mexicans played.
