And these settlers who had colonized Texas, supposedly on behalf of the Mexican government, were from the South and they were interested in maintaining their slave system. And so that was one of the issues where they said, you know, this is too much central control. They're trying to dictate our lives. And so that was a big issue driving this push for colonization.

So the Texan Independence War was an interesting one because they had this like minor skirmish over a cannon. There was a cannon the settlers had been given and the Mexican government said, we're not sure we want to be arming you guys anymore.

And so they told the settlers to give this cannon back and the settlers hung up this flag that said something along the lines of, if you want it, come and take it. And that was the spark that set off the Texan Revolution. And there were a couple of major battles. The most famous one is the Alamo, of course. And that had been a mission. You mentioned missionaries. That had been a mission.

Und Santa Anna, den du erwähnt hast, war sehr berühmt für das Verlangen von Texas an die Vereinigten Staaten. Das war ein großer Verlust für ihn. Er war wahrscheinlich der mächtigste Mensch in Mexiko für Mexiko. A lot of the first half of the 1800s. And he lost Texas. Texas gained its independence through a number of battles. And then you still have this border question, though.
