    Yeah, the entire Texas independence movement was white slaver owners wanting to own slaves in Texas. Which was actually part of Mexico, and had banned slavery in Texas a few years prior, and the white colonist slave owners were having none of it.

    There were several rebellions against Santa Anna at the time, Texas was the only “success”. All because of the white slave owners pumping a lot of money into the fight.

      The Tennessee “Volunteers”, who volunteered to go to Texas to fight to get another American slave state.
