Which statement best describes the events that led to the arrest of Stephen F.
Austin? (1 point)
Austin went to Mexico City to discuss issues regarding Texas residents and
request a repeal of the Law of April 6, 1830. These actions concerned Santa
Anna. The Mexican government became suspicious of Austin because it
thought he was trying to start a rebellion.
Because of his previous work with Mexican President Bustamante and Mier y
Terán, Santa Anna did not trust Austin and thought he wanted to start a
revolution against Mexico.
Austin served in a leadership position in the Conventions of 1832 and 1833, so
he wanted Texas to separate from Mexico.
Austin visited with Mexican President Bustamante and Mier y Terán about the
situation in Texas and the growing discontent among the settlers about the Law
of April 6, 1830.
