The Mexican government encouraged more settlers to move in to help develop the Texan economy. <u>Thousands of Americans took on the offer and moved, most of them settling between the Colorado and Brazos River</u>, and by 1834 there were over 30,000 Americans living in Texas, and only about 8,000 Mexicans.
