What caused the Texas Revolution? So we’re covering two wars actually, but they’re inseparable. The tensions had manifest destiny at their core, but to really understand what caused the war, and therefore all of its consequences, we have to learn what that build up in tensions was. Regardless of whether you think it was a just war, much of that consideration is without merit without understanding this deeper history. Buckle up, because I’m talking about filibusters, land laws, Amerindian depredations, the internal politics of both countries, and the tribes in-between.

Wiki: Public opinion in Texas was divided.[38] Editorials in the United States began advocating complete independence for Texas.[39] After several men staged a minor revolt against customs duties in Anahuac in June,[40] local leaders began calling for a public meeting to determine whether a majority of settlers favored independence, a return to federalism, or the status quo. Although some leaders worried that Mexican officials would see this type of gathering as a step towards revolution, by the end of August most communities had agreed to send delegates to the Consultation, scheduled for October 15.[41]

As early as April 1835, military commanders in Texas began requesting reinforcements, fearing the citizens would revolt.[42] Mexico was ill-prepared for a large civil war,[43] but continued unrest in Texas posed a significant danger to the power of Santa Anna and of Mexico. If the people of Coahuila also took up arms, Mexico faced losing a large portion of its territory. Without the northeastern province to act as a buffer, it was likely that United States influence would spread, and the Mexican territories of Nuevo Mexico and Alta California would be at risk of future American encroachment. Santa Anna had no wish to tangle with the United States, and he knew that the unrest needed to be subdued before the United States could be convinced to become involved.[44] In early September, Santa Anna ordered his brother-in-law, General Martín Perfecto de Cos, to lead 500 soldiers to Texas to quell any potential rebellion. Cos and his men landed at the port of Copano on September 20.[45] Austin called on all municipalities to raise militias to defend themselves.[46]
