About the Texas Revolution

The Texas Revolution (1835–1836) was a rebellion by Anglo-American settlers and Tejano allies against the centralizing government of Mexican president Antonio López de Santa Anna. After defeats at the Alamo and Goliad, the rebels won at San Jacinto and established the Republic of Texas. Mexico did not accept the permanent loss of Texas, leaving its status and borders disputed.

Geography of the Texas Revolution

The revolution took place mainly in the settled districts of eastern and southern Texas, then part of Mexico. Important locations included Gonzales, San Antonio and the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto near present-day Houston. Mexican armies advanced north from the Rio Grande, while rebel forces and civilians withdrew eastward before the final battle. Rivers, coastal prairies, sparse roads, and long supply lines shaped a short but geographically dispersed campaign.
