PLEASE HELP ;w; 1) Anglos from the United States were lured to settle areas in Mexico

Answer 1

Answer:

1- The correct answer is A. Anglos from the United States were lured to settle areas in Mexico with the promise of low-cost land.

2- The correct answer is D. Stephen F. Austin is often called the "father of Texas" for bringing American settlers into the Mexican province of Tejas and eventually helping lead Texas to independence from Mexico.

3- The correct answer is A. In Texas history, an empresario could BEST be described as  a settler who agreed to come Texas in and settle rural areas.

4- The correct answer is C. Texas did not have any impact on the Mexican fight for independence because the region was not yet populated before Mexico became independent.

Explanation:

1- In 1821, a total of about 3,500 Mexican settlers lived throughout Texas, concentrated mainly in San Antonio and La Bahia, although the authorities had tried to encourage development along the border. The settler population was greatly outnumbered by the natives of the province. To increase the number of colonists, Mexico promulgated, in 1824, the general law on colonization, which allows all heads of families, regardless of race, religion or immigrant status, to acquire land in Mexico.

2- Stephen Fuller Austin was an American empressario considered "Father of Texas". He was the leader of the Anglo-American colonization of the region, with several places and schools named after him, including the capital of Texas.

Austin was named as the first Secretary of State when Texas was declared a Republic, but he sat for only two months before dying of pneumonia on December 27, 1836.

3- An empresario was a person who had been granted the right to settle on land in exchange for recruiting other settlers to develop agriculture in the area and take responsibility for settling in the eastern areas of Coahuila y Texas in the early 19th century. The word is the Spanish equivalent for entrepreneur.

4- The independence of Mexico was achieved in 1821, after 11 years of war against the Spanish colonizers. During that time, Texas was practically depopulated, with a few thousand inhabitants (during that period, the population of Texas was about 3,000 to 3,500 inhabitants).
