In 3–5 sentences, explain why some Tejanos supported Texas independence.

Some Tejanos supported Texas independence for several reasons. Firstly, they faced discrimination and limited rights under Mexican rule, and saw independence as an opportunity to secure their own political and economic power. Secondly, many Tejanos had already established themselves as prominent landowners and feared that the central Mexican government would threaten their property rights. Lastly, some Tejanos felt culturally and linguistically closer to the Anglo-American colonists than to the Mexican government, and saw themselves as more aligned with the Texas independence movement.

in teen words.

Some Tejanos supported Texas independence because they were treated badly by the Mexican government, they wanted to protect their land and stuff, and they felt more like the Anglo-Americans than the Mexican government.
