After Santa Anna's dissolution of the
Constitution of 1824, issues such as lack of access to courts, the
militarization of the region's government (e.g., response to Saltillo-Monclova
problem), and self-defense issues resulting in the confrontation in Gonzales,
public sentiment in Mexican Texas turned towards revolution. Santa Anna's
invasion of the territory after putting down the rebellion in Zacatecas provoked
the conflict of 1836. The Texan forces fought and won the Texas Revolution in
1835–36.
Texas became an independent nation,
the Republic of Texas. Attracted by the rich lands for cotton plantations and
ranching, tens of thousands of immigrants arrived from the U.S. and from
Germany as well. In 1845, Texas joined the United States, becoming the 28th
state.
Texas declared its secession from the
United States in 1861 to join the Confederate States of America. Only a few
battles of the American Civil War were fought in Texas; most Texas regiments
served in the east. When the war ended, the enslaved African Americans were
freed. Texas was subject to Reconstruction, a process that left a residue of
bitterness among whites.
