You are a revisionist crank. The issue of slavery was marginal, at best! Mexico was a newly formed country and it needed more immigrants. Anglos came. The Mexican government tried to impose Catholicism on the new inhabitants of Texas. Mistake number 1. The Mexican government was uncapable of properly running Texas, making the Texas quite unhappy with the central goverment. Needless to say, they emancipated. But hey, what else can we expect from a masochist Gringo like yourself? Y lo mejor de todo... yo no soy anglo! Ja!
