To order the events in the proper chronological sequence, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Gather information about each event.
- The Mier y Terán Report: This report was conducted by Mexican General Manuel Mier y Terán in 1828 to assess the situation in the Mexican province of Texas.
- The Fredonian Rebellion: This rebellion took place in 1826 when Haden Edwards attempted to establish the independent Republic of Fredonia in Texas.
- The Law of April 6, 1830: This law was enacted by the Mexican government to restrict immigration from the United States and enforce other measures in Texas.
- The Anahuac Disturbances: These disturbances occurred in 1832 when tensions rose between Mexican authorities and Anglo-American settlers in Anahuac, Texas.
Step 2: Analyze the timeline of events.
- The Mier y Terán Report took place before the Fredonian Rebellion since it happened in 1828.
- The Law of April 6, 1830, occurred after the Fredonian Rebellion because it was passed after Mexican authorities were concerned about the growing influence of Anglo-American settlers.
- The Anahuac Disturbances happened after the Law of April 6, 1830, since they were a result of rising tensions between the settlers and Mexican authorities.
Step 3: Order the events chronologically.
Based on the information gathered, the proper chronological sequence of events is as follows:
1. The Mier y Terán Report (1828)
2. The Fredonian Rebellion (1826)
3. The Law of April 6, 1830
4. The Anahuac Disturbances (1832)
By following these steps, you can determine the correct chronological order of the events listed.
