The Texans wanted to create a system of governance similar to what they left in the United States. This led to the push for Texans to gain their independence from Mexico. The Texans saw the Mexican government as just as aloof as the British government the colonists faced during the American Revolution.
the British offered them freedom. they were not able to offer an environment free of judgement and ridicule but they would pay them and that was better than being enslaved.
