    It wasn’t stolen for land, they already were welcomed there. It was stolen because Mexico outlawed slavery

      IT was stolen through revolution for slavery, and slavery needed land. No one would have moved to desolate, remote texas to farm without slave, it’s actually a lot of work. There was no profit in farming if slaves weren’t involved, and none of it would have happened if opportunists didn’t see cheap…or in their case free land as a benefit toward their cause of profiteering from slavery.
