Question

Why did Mexico offer land in Texas to settlers from the United States? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Option: Texas had few settlers to develop the land and protect against Native Americans.        

Explanation:  

After Mexico won its independence in 1821, they began to urged Americans to settle in their territory of Texas. Texas thinly settled by fewer Mexican farmers and ranchers. The Mexican government invited the development of the lands in Texas by the American because the vast area was empty. Indian raids by the Comanche and Apache were a dangerous matter in Texas. It was becoming difficult for Mexican settlers defending their cattle and horses. Mexico believed settlements from the United States would help stop the raids in the region.
