Question

How did Anglo-American settlers in Texas see themselves? Did they adopt a Mexican identity because they were living in Mexican territory? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Anglo-Americans never considerate themselves as part of the Mexican government.

Explanation:

Texas settled by Mexican farmers and ranchers after it got independence from Spanish colonial power in 1821. Settlers began farming and ranching in Texas as the land was available at a reasonable price. Settlers in Texas dealt with buying land and raising cattle and livestock. The Mexican government invited Anglo-Americans for the development of regions as it remains unoccupied. Anglo- Americans migrated to Texas in the 1820s to get cheap farmland. They always saw themselves as part of America even though they received land and rights in Texas under the Mexican government. They resented Mexican laws and never adopted any Mexican identity while living in Mexican territory as they always saw Mexicans was contradictory and thought them as shallow and lazy.
