The public treaty was to be published immediately, and the secret agreement was to be carried into execution when the public treaty had been fulfilled. The public treaty, with ten articles, provided that hostilities would cease, that Santa Anna would not again take up arms against Texas, that the Mexican forces would withdraw beyond the Rio Grande, that restoration would be made of property confiscated by Mexicans, that prisoners would be exchanged on an equal basis, that Santa Anna would be sent to Mexico as soon as possible, and that the Texas army would not approach closer than five leagues to the retreating Mexicans. In the secret agreement, in six articles, the Texas government promised the immediate liberation of Santa Anna on condition that he use his influence to secure from Mexico acknowledgment of Texas independence; Santa Anna promised not to take up arms against Texas, to give orders for withdrawal from Texas of Mexican troops, to have the Mexican cabinet receive a Texas mission favorably, and to work for a treaty of commerce and limits specifying that the Texas boundary not lie south of the Rio Grande.
Many Texans were angry that the Treaty provided that Santa Anna would be allowed to live and return to Mexico. They wanted revenge for the hundreds of Texans ruthlessly slaughtered under his command at the Alamo and Goliad. I agree that Santa Anna should not have been permitted to live after commanding such ruthless slaughters of Texans. For example, the people at Goliad were told they would be released if they cooperated but they were massacred. He was not a good leader for the Mexican people either and had a history of false promises and poor relationships. or I agree with the decision made at the negotiations to allow a Santa Anna to live and return to Mexico. The Texans needed Santa Ann to follow through with his agreement to make sure Mexico recognized Texas as a free republic and set the border at the Rio Grande.

This increased moisture provides additional fuel for hurricanes. Climate models project an increase in the average precipitation rate of hurricanes as a result of global warming. Second, as ocean temperatures rise, there is also less cold, subsurface ocean water to serve as a braking mechanism for hurricanes.
The main way in which it is believed that environmental change contributed to the fall of the Maya Civilization is that there was a sharp drop in the amount of rainfall per year, which led to a decrease in harvests.
St. Paul refers to the people of the world as the "sons of Bondage". The Saints are children of God by adoption. He calls the Galatians back to Christ, so they can be saved.
