When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at only 12 million in 1824), Mexico relaxed its Immigration policies and allowed American settlers to help populate the northern territories. The conditions to settle were simple: 1) to pledge allegiance to Mexico and 2) observe Mexican laws and customs.

What was the main issue that caused conflict at Gonzales?

The main issue that caused conflict at Gonzales was the demand by Mexican authorities for the return of a small cannon that had been given to the Texan settlers for defense against Native American attacks. The Texan settlers refused to return the cannon, leading to escalating tensions that eventually culminated in the Battle of Gonzales, which marked the start of the Texas Revolution.


What were government efforts to pressure Mexican immigrants to return to Mexico?

During the 1930s, particularly during the Great Depression, the U.S. government implemented various measures to pressure Mexican immigrants to return to Mexico. Initiatives included the repatriation program, which aimed to deport individuals deemed "unemployed" or "unwanted," resulting in the forced return of hundreds of thousands of Mexican nationals and Mexican Americans. Local and state authorities, often collaborating with federal agents, conducted raids and targeted communities, using intimidation tactics to encourage voluntary repatriation. This effort was fueled by economic hardship and a growing anti-immigrant sentiment prevalent at the time.
