1. Jim Bowie sat in Fredonia (now Nacadoches) and forged land deeds signed by the king of Spain to sell to yankees in the North

2. When the first Americans from Al, Tenn, KY, LA etc arrived to settle in texas, it was part of Mexico. Mexico freed slaves in 1825. The white slave owners in Texas didn't want to liberate their slaves. Ergo a revolt to make Texas an independent slavery republic.
