During the French and Indian War, Native Americans sided with both England and France. Different tribes, and sometimes even individuals within the tribes, sided with different sides.
Among the advantages of siding with France was the fact that they were most tribes' main trading partner. As fur traders were often French, the French also had a stronger connection with the tribes. Many French people spoke native American languages, and many married Native women, even joining their tribes from time to time.
On the other hand, the English had a much more turbulent relationship with the Native Americans. However, the English were 20 times larger in number than the French, making them a more strategic partner. They had also promised land and other concessions to Native Americans who fought on their side through the Treaty of Easton.
If I were the leader of a tribe, I would side with the French, as they had a better track record of helping the Native Americans. This in fact is what most Native American tribes did.
The pirates and smugglers reflect a growing sense of autonomy among British colonist in the 17th century, both of the groups developed independent political culture separate from British. They want to developed independent political culture that will be separated from the British.<span>

Answer:
from October 1835 to April 1836 between Mexico and Texas colonists that resulted in Texas’s independence from Mexico and the founding of the Republic of Texas (1836–45). Although the Texas Revolution was bookended by the Battles of Gonzales and San Jacinto, armed conflict and political turmoil that pitted Texians (Anglo-American settlers of the Mexican state of Coahuila and Texas) and Tejanos (Texans of mixed Mexican and Indian descent) against the forces of the Mexican government had occurred intermittently since at least 1826.
Colonial Texas
Having won its independence from Spain in 1821, the fledgling Republic of Mexico sought to gain control of its northern reaches, which under the Spanish had functioned as an extensive and largely empty bulwark against encroachment by competing French and British empires to the north. That northern region, which became the state of Coahuila and Texas under the federal system created by the Mexican constitution of 1824, was thinly populated by Mexicans and dominated by the Apache and Comanche Native American peoples. Because most Mexicans were reluctant to relocate there, the Mexican government encouraged Americans and other foreigners to settle there (Spain had opened the region to Anglo-American settlement in 1820). Mexico also exempted the settlers from certain tariffs and taxes for seven years under the Imperial Colonization Law of January 1823. Moreover, though Mexico had banned slavery in 1829, it allowed American immigrant slaveholders to continue using the labour of enslaved people.
Among those who made the most of the opportunity to settle in Texas were Green Dewitt and Moses Austin, Americans bestowed with the title empresario by being granted large tracts of land on which to establish colonies of hundreds of families. Austin died before he could begin that undertaking, but his son, Stephen Austin, realized his father’s ambition and became arguably the most-influential Texian. In fact, in 1826, a militia led by Austin aided the Mexican military in suppressing the Freedonian Rebellion, an early attempt at securing independence from Mexico by settlers in the area around Nacogdoches that had resulted largely from a conflict between old settlers and those who had arrived as part of the grant to empresario Hayden Edwards.
Explanation:
It stemmened from the annexation of Texas by the us in 1845 and from a dispute over whether Texas ended at the Nueces River which was Mexican claimed or the rio grande us claim.
