Tejanos in the War

In 1821, at the end of the Mexican War of Independence, there were about 4,000 Tejanos living in what is now the state of Texas.  By 1830, the 30,000 settlers in Texas outnumbered the Tejanos six to one. The Texians and Tejanos alike rebelled against the authority of Mexico City and the measures applied by the Santa Anna. Tensions between the central Mexican government and the settlers eventually led to the Texas Revolution.
