New colonies are needed. The surge of colonists to Texas continues with many coming from Europe as well as America. Some who came sought power and were scoundrels. Others, like Austin, only sought to build a new home and find their own future with other Texans. But we are nearing the climax of the colonial period.
Mexican leadership is confused.
Some want to expand the colonies and support immigration from America. Others want it ended. The Texans are offended. Desperately the colonists seek conciliation with the Mexican government, but nothing seems to work. Then all hope vanishes and the Texas Revolution is under way.
