To determine which of the statements illustrates the political division between Texans during the Mexican War for Independence, let's analyze each statement separately:
I. José Gutiérrez de Lara became president of Texas and then was asked to resign.
This statement suggests that there was a political division among Texans during the Mexican War for Independence, as it indicates disagreement or conflict surrounding the presidency of José Gutiérrez de Lara. However, it does not clarify the nature of the division or the motivations behind asking him to resign.
II. Rebels fighting at the Battle of Medina disobeyed orders from the Texas president.
This statement also implies a political division within the Texan ranks during the war. The fact that rebels disobeyed orders from the Texas president indicates disagreement or conflict over leadership and strategy. However, the statement does not provide further details about the nature of the division.
III. Tejano and Anglo rebels unified to take control of San Antonio de Bexar.
This statement suggests that there was a coming together of Tejano and Anglo rebels to seize control of San Antonio de Bexar. While this does not directly indicate a political division between Texans, it does highlight a degree of cooperation or unity among different factions, which may have been in contrast to other divisions.
Combining the analysis of each statement:
- Statement I indicates a political division related to the presidency of José Gutiérrez de Lara.
- Statement II indicates a political division related to the rebellion's military chain of command.
- Statement III indicates a level of unity between Tejano and Anglo rebels.
