Santiago Vidaurri was Governor of Nuevo Leone and Coahuila while Coahuila was part of Nuevo Leone (and he was the one who annexed Coahuila).

Vidaurri's first focus seemed to be maintaining the autonomy and quasi-independence of Nuevo Leone and Coahuila. He allied with the Liberals against the centralizing folks in Mexico City, with the liberals against the French, later with the French against Juarez, and played nice with the Confederacy in a hope that they'd either prop up an independent Republic of his own or annex Coahuila and Nuevo Leone and provide greater Nuevo Leone with the autonomy he desired.

What would it take for Santiago Vidaurri get establish an independent Republic of Sierra Madre/Nuevo Leone?
