Treaty of 1836

The Treaty of 1836 was an agreement between the Mexican government and Texan settlers, including many Americans, during Texas's struggle for independence. It recognized Texas's right to self-governance but did not fully grant independence. The treaty aimed to ease tensions but was rejected by the Mexican government, which still considered Texas a rebellious province. Ultimately, Texas declared independence in 1836, leading to the establishment of the Republic of Texas, which later joined the United States. The treaty is significant as it reflects the complex negotiations and conflicts during Texas's fight for independence.
