Question

Describe the actions of President Santa Anna that made the Texans believe they had the right to start their own provisional government?

Answer 1

Answer:

When Santa Anna dissolved the state legislature and brought all the power to himself, Texas found itself working under an illegal system of government. So, Texas rebelled along with several other Mexican states (Binkley 41). The Texans originally fought for the Constitution of 1824 but shortly turned to independence. A good illustration of this is the convention which was organized in October 1835 with orders "to secure peace if it is to be obtained on constitutional terms, and to prepare for war, if war be inevitable" (Binkley 60). The first real fight started on September 29, 1835 when General Cos of the Mexican army sent some men to take a cannon from Gonzales. There was a stand off which ended in a skirmish. The Mexicans ran back to San Antonio without the cannon (Lord 38). The Texas revolution had started. The Texans followed the Mexicans to San Antonio and the Alamo where the Texans forced General Cos to surrender and leave Texas. Texas now was in control of the Alamo (Lord 56).
