That vast country. known asTexas. lying between our southern borders and the Rio Grande. was occapiled by roving bands of warlike savages. hostile to both countries. Mexico conceived the idea of protecting her exposed border by pen.pling this country with North Americans. She tempted emigration by large grants of land. which lured thousands of our landgrabbing race to these fertile but perilous plains. These emigrants soon drove out the Indians and organized a State government. About this time the government of Mexico was seized by a military usurper. who overthrew the federal system and proclaimed the absolute supremacy of a unified central power. The people of Texas revolted against this imperial despotism. and took up arms to defend their liberties and won them upon the glorious field of San Jacinto.
