Compromise of 1850

Boundary Dispute

Sometime around 1820, Mexico combined Texas with Coahuila. Despite whatever the Mexicans had claimed, the American immigrants who arrived there still thought the southwestern boundary of Texas was the Rio Grande. Many arguements and fights broke out between the Mexicans and the Anglo-Americans. Some Leaders in Texas, such as Stephen F. Austin, began to plan how they were going to solve the imbiggening problem of the Boundary Dispute.
