Led by the Empressario, Stephen F. Austin, an initial grant for three hundred families--the "Old 300"--in 1821 opened up Texas to a flood of American immigrants, as many as 30,000 by the time of the Texas Revolution in 1835.
In the American Revolutionary War, the British were fighting for themselves against the Americans and, further into the war, the French.
