Somewhat less known re the Texans' MO to throw off what it perceived as the Mexican yoke was the fact that Mexico outlawed slavery as Spain had done centuries earlier. This not only motivated quite a few slaves to flee their Texan slaveholders for freedom within established Mexican settlements but also infuriated the Texans who felt their freedom was somehow being threatened almost if not as much as it did re Mexico being a Catholic nation.
WI- Mexico actually had permitted slavery within the Texan territories? Would this have somehow prevented the groundswell for Texan independence from happening sooner or even altogether?
