Your first challenge has to do with the causes of the Texas Revolution. The groundskeeper, Mr Tex Crockett Jr, believes that in order to fully understand why Texas became independent, you have to learn about what caused the problems in the first place.

There were several causes of the Texas Revolution:

The people of Texas had conflicts with the Mexican government.

People in Texas spoke English while people in Mexico spoke Spanish.

Mexican citizens were required to be Catholic while many in Texas were Protestants.

Slavery was outlawed in Mexico but not in parts of the United States. Mexico allowed slavery in Texas, but many Texans feared that Mexico would soon change its mind

As the Anglo(white) population in Texas grew, the Mexican government feared that Texans might try to form their own government.
