(aka the lone star state) in the 1820s, `moses austin`, followed by his son stephen, gained permission from the mexican government to settle 300 american families in the state of coahuila, soon to be known as texas. thousands more settlers were granted permission and followed. by 1830, they outnumbered mexicans in the region four to one. in 1835, the dictator of mexico, general `santa anna`, moved an army into texas to establish military control. about 100 texans defended their settlements at the `alamo`. on march 6, 1836, surrounded by 5,000 troops, they were all killed. other conflicts followed. the texans, inspired by the rallying cry "`remember the alamo`!" overwhelmed the mexicans and captured santa anna. in september, the republic of texas was formed, with `sam houston` as president. the lone star republic would remain independent until 1845, when it was annexed by the united states.
