Hi miss.Levit i dont really know about this book but my guess would be that the Texans decided that they needed independence from Mexico bacause most people belived they were fighting for freedom, Others wanted the Mexican land. The other reason was the Taxenian people wanted freedom of slavery.The Taxes government wanted to expend the country because it was too small. Thats the reasons why Texans decided that they needed independence from Mexico.

The Texans wanted independence from Mexico because the Taxes government wanted to expand there country and to free the slavery from the Mexicans.
The Texas government wanted to expand the country because it was to small. He also wanted to free the slavery because they worked to much and there lives were becoming miserable.
These are the two reason that the Texan people wanted independence from the Mexican government.

Two reasons why the Texans decided that they needed independence from Mexico are law and keep slaves.
most of the people living in Texas were Anglo settlers from the U.S.A.most of them were farmers who become Mexican citizens.The Mexican govermant was loosing power so he passed a law to stop more angalo from moving there.
Th other reason is who wanted to have plantations.Because they were having very less landform so they wanted more landforms and when the govermant didn't give them landforms so they wanted U.S. to joint them.
These two reason are why the Texans decided that they needed independence from Mexico.

Texas wanted to be independence from Mexico because they didn't like them, they were getting treated bad. Mexico wanted to keep slave. the general Santa Anna didn't wanted Texas to be independent so he stared to fight. Texas contiued fighting. Texas didn't like the laws that Mexico make. Mexico was fighting for other reason too like the slavery, and for Texas but United States was fighting for them too. at the United State took Texas. that is why Texas wanted to be independent for Mexico.

I think the two reasons why the Texans decided that they needed independence from Mexico is the Mexican government became concerned that it was losing control of Texas and passed a law to stop more Anglos from moving there, and General Santa Anna turned Mexico's democracy into a dictatorship.
Why the Mexican government became concerned that it was losing control of Texas and passed a law to stop more Anglos from moving there?

My opinion is that the Americans wanned more land so,they took Texas that it was part of Mexico.The Americas started the war with the Mexicans because they wanned to take away Texas witch it was part of Mexico.Mexico was not strong enough to beat down the Americas so the Americas took over Texas with it was sorta easy for them because they were also some Americas in Texas when it was part of Mexico so they also helped the Americas that was in America take over Texas/Mexico.
