The Texas Revolution 3A

Brain Pop Texas Revolution Long before Texas became the Lone Star State, it was a thinly populated territory of Mexico. The country promised cheap land to settlers, hoping to spur development. Huge numbers of Americans, dubbed Texians, flooded into the area. Mexico, fearing an eventual takeover, banned further American immigration and set out to take control over its rogue state. The army of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna marched on Texas, setting the stage for war. The Texians suffered disastrous early defeats to the battle-tested Mexican troops. But those losses at Alamo and Goliad only helped unify the revolutionaries. Under the leadership of Sam Houston, Texas declared its independence and the rebels soon defeated Santa Anna! Just under 10 years later, the United States officially annexed (added) Texas as the 28th state. Watch this movie to learn exactly why you should never mess with Texas!
