Philip Nolan was an American who
threatened Spanish rule. He was known as a filibuster (an adventurer who
engaged in a private rebellion against a foreign country). At first he
had permission by the Spanish government to enter Texas. The Spanish
government became suspicious when he began to visit with General James
Wilkinson. General James Wilkinson was the United States army commander
of the American frontier that bordered Spanish Texas. The Spanish
governor feared that Nolan was plotting to take Texas from Spain. The
United States had been interested in Texas as far back as 1803 under
President Thomas Jefferson. The Spanish always had a difficult time
securing their northern borders. The Spanish governor warned Philip
Nolan he would be arrested if he entered Texas again. Nolan ignored the
warnings. Near Waco, Philip Nolan and 17 other men met up with soldiers
near Waco. A fight broke out and Philip Nolan was killed. The men who
were captured were taken to Mexico.
