"Ironically, a Revolution fought to secure slavery from Mexican interference provided far more opportunities for slave resistance than had ever existed under Mexican rule."[1]

"In 1835-1836, the simmering tensions between Anglo settlers and the Mexican government boiled over. A number of issues, not the least of which was slavery, lay behind the rift."[2]

"Texas slaveholders thus found the institution troublesome and unsettling, but, at the same time, it benefited them to the extent that they would attempt a revolution to keep it."[3]

"Another point that caused constant irritation in the relations between Texans and Mexicans was the issue of slavery. For this topic see the thorough study of Paul D. Lack, "Slavery and the Texas Revolution", p82. [: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41280729]

"Above all, the Texas Rebellion should be understood as an exercise in political-economy building. More precisely, the Texas Rebellion was an attempt to craft a political economy conducive to Anglo-American slavery – one that was reminiscent of that of the United States." Paul Andres Barba, "Enslaved in Texas: Slavery, Migration, and Identity in Native Country," PhD thesis, p457.

Clayton E. Jewett, John O. AllenSlavery in the South: A State-by-state History, p 240.[1]

"Hemphill reminded fellow senators that Texas had agreed to annexation out of fear that the diplomacy of Great Britain would hazard the peculiar institution. Texas, he exclaimed, had not found peace or security for slavery, but experienced only peril. It should not surprise them, therefore, that Texas would secure itself against the threat to slavery by supporting secession from the Union." p27 [4]

"In fairness, Beckert’s theory that cotton capitalists dictated British foreign policies need not have to apply to every situation, but in addition to the cases he misinterprets there are many puzzling events, such as British policies toward Texas, that need explanation. An independent Texas would have created an alternative source of cotton outside U.S. control. In November 1840, Britain granted diplomatic recognition to the young republic, on the condition that the slave trade be suppressed. In 1843, British overtures to help settle relations between Mexico and Texas were linked to the abolition of slavery. The Texas planters refused and pushed for union with the United States (Smith 1911, p. 382; Adams 1918)."[5] p6

Moscow uprising of 1905

But in the 1820s, with independence secured and sovereignty established, the two republics approached the key question of slavery very differently: one was facilitating its expansion, the other its abolition. The tension between these two ideals was one of the most important contributors to the Texas Revolution and the founding of the slaveholding Texas Republic in 1836. Yet while the defeat of Mexico and the redrawing of the boundaries of sovereign power certainly diminished the influence of Mexico over the Brazos, they did not eliminate it entirely. Mexico never acknowledged the legitimacy of the Texas Republic and still hoped to reestablish sovereignty over the region.[6]

7. Role of slavery

Many historians have concluded that the desire of Anglo Texans to preserve the social and economic institution of slavery was the primary factor that led to them to secede from Mexico in 1835.[7][8] Accordingly, Barba has written that the primary goal of the Revolution was "craft a political economy conducive to Anglo-American slavery".[9] Stephen F. Austin, known as the "Father of Texas", wrote in 1833:

"Texas must be a slave country. Circumstances and unavoidable necessity compel it. It is the wish of the people there, and it is my duty to do all I can, prudently, in favor of it. I will do so.

The Texas Revolution was motivated by a number of factors, including resistance to the Mexican government's attempts to centralize power, and the desire of Anglo Texas to preserve the institution of chattel slavery in the territory.

In the early 19th century, the cotton economy based on plantation slavery grew rapidly in the Southern United States. Increasing numbers of slaveholding Anglos began to migrate into the the territory of Texas. As tensions between the Mexican government and Anglo settlers grew, Mexico declared in 1833 that it would no longer extradite fugitive slaves, despite strong objections from the US government.[10] In 1835 the government of Mexico was overthrown and a new, centralist constitution was promulgated. The Constitution of the Republic of Texas of 1836 explicitly protected the institution of slavery, and prohibited free blacks from living in Texas without the permission of the legislature.[11] All in all, thousands of slaves were able to flee Texas and gain their freedom in Mexico.[12] In 1840 the legislature of independent Texas approved a law ordering all free blacks to leave the Republic,[13] though some were exempted by the Ashworth Act.

The role played by slavery has become part of historical debates regarding the revolution's purpose and legacy. Earlier historical accounts tended to reject the contention that the preservation of slavery was a major factor in the revolt.[14] Conversely, more modern scholarship has affirmed the importance of the desire to protect slavery in the role of the revolt against Mexico in 1835, and the declaration of independence in 1836. The desire to protect slavery also played a central role in Texas' accession into the United States in 1846, especially after Great Britain put pressure on the Republic of Texas to abolish the practice.[15][16][17] Eventually, the desire to preserve slavery helped move Texas to secede from the United States and join the Confederate States of America in 1861.

Pop culture

Andy Ngo as "pseudo-journalist".[5]

Springee and Andy Ngo page - civil-POV pushing, recommend a topic ban on Andy Ngo, and preferably a broader topic ban on American politics

Springee continues to demonstrate a fixation with the Andy Ngo page and an insistence on challenging any critical material.

20 June 2021 - tag-team filibustering on perennial fixation Andy Ngo page - watch to see if gets worse. Despite my repeated reminders of WP:ROWN, continues to ignore this policy on a page to which they previously added a deprecated source, then dragged it through RfC.

22 June 2021 - unilateral removal of good sources from perennial fixation Andy Ngo page.[6]

23 June: protracted and circular filibuster over a short sentence of mine related to labels good sources have ascribed to Ngo. Inexplicable double standard between the dubious LaCorte News in April 2021, where they stressed context and the need to not reject sources without good reason, and the Rolling Stone and Jacobin material in June 2021. The pattern is similar to the Daily Caller material which they dragged through RfC: conservative-leaning sources, no matter how dubious, are given the most charitable interpretation possible, and sources unfriendly to conservative political figures are held to an impossibly high evidentiary standard. They fail to follow good-faith patterns an experienced editor should demonstrate: for example, they pointed out that I used the full citation of a source when a short version would do as proof of weakness of my edit, rather than simply amending the source as would be logical.

Springee then consulted with another editor who has also frequently taken positions similar to them in the past. I suspect that Springee has observed how I struggle to maintain my cool during protracted, partisan Wiki debates and is maintaining this frankly preposterous filibuster in the hope of baiting me into making angry or personal comments.
