After the Fredonian Rebellion, the Mexican government began to realize that they had been neglecting the area of Coahuila y Tejas too much. They thought the rebellion was part of an American scheme to acquire Texas. In fact, the United States had already offered to buy Texas in 1827 and 1829. Officials decided to send in a government official, General Manuel de Mier y Teran, to take a census, a count on the population and to report on the colonization process in Texas. General Mier y Teran set out on his expedition on November 10, 1828 until his return on January 16, 1829. After his two-month inspection, General Mier y Teran warned Mexican officials of the growing number of Anglos in Texas and urged them to take strong action to hold that territory. He found there were approximately 10 Anglo Americans to every 1 Mexican settler. But, what stood out to him is that the new citizens of Mexico were not abiding by the expectations of Mexican citizens. When Anglos bought land from Mexican empresarios, they had to meet certain requirements like converting to Catholicism. But, what Mier y Teran discovered is that the Anglo settlers were still holding firm to their American roots, traditions, and Protestant religion. General Mier y Teran reported that the number of settlers was vastly greater than what they were expecting. General Mier y Teran suggested that more presidios be built and troops be sent into Coahuila y Tejas to patrol the settlements and prevent uprisings like the one the Edwards brothers had led. General Mier y Teran’s report led Mexican officials to create a plan of action to prevent other Anglo rebellions and reduce Anglo-American immigration to Texas.
