After Mexico gained its independence in 1821, one of the main issues the new government was facing was populating "northern Mexico". This included parts of modern day California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and of course, Texas. The "Empresario System" would allow Anglos from America to buy land from the Mexican government and settle their families in Mexico. This would lead to a larger population in Texas, but would also lead to divisive points of view between the new anglo settlers and the Mexican Government.
