To counteract tho uRgresKlons of the French settlements In Louisiana, tho Spanish estab lished many missions throughout Texas, the most important be ing ut San Antonio. When the Unltod States negotiated the Louisiana Purchase from France they considered thnt Texas was a part of tills territory. Over this question war was nearly precipitated hut finally the Uni ted States withdrew their claims in exchange for Spain's with drawal of claims to the Oregon region. Many Americans began to set tlo In Texas, among them Gen eral Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. Mexico became alarmed at this rnpld increase of American pioneers which threatened to crowd out the Mex ican population. Oppressive measures were adopted and caused thu Americans to rise In rebellion In lS'tfl. During this Uprising occurred the gallant de fense of the Alamo by a handful of Americans and their slaughter by the vastly superior numbers of tbe Mexicans.
