After the fall of New Spain, the Mexican government wanted to bolster the population of its northern regions to protect its inner core from marauding parties of hostile natives and American filibusters. To rectify the problem, the Mexican government invited men such as Stephen F Austin to bring in loyal colonists from the United States to lay down roots in the region known as Texas. However, unbeknownst to the government officials in Mexico City. This problem would backfire in their face. Seeing the wonderful land of Texas up for grabs, thousands more Americans flooded into the Mexican state and started eating up the land. The Mexican officials tried to stop this flood but to no avail. Fighting starts breaking out against the Texian colonists and Mexican soldiers for years on end. The bloodshed will only rise when a popular Mexican General named Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna takes the reins of government. Though popular initially, Santa Anna soon centralizes power and overturns the Constitution, sparking revolts throughout the country. Tired of having no voice in government and being regulated as a second-class region, the people of Texas rise up hoping to get what they want finally, their state. With the tension rising throughout the country, it will only take a small incident to explode the entire region into civil conflict. It might be something as small as a cannon…
