What happened TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS AND TEJANOS AFTER TEXAS WAS ANNEXED?

After Texas was annexed in 1845, Native Americans and Tejanos faced significant challenges. Native American tribes experienced increased displacement and violence as settlers expanded into their territories, leading to further marginalization and loss of land. Tejanos, who were Mexican residents of Texas, faced discrimination and violence from Anglo settlers, leading to a decline in their political and economic power. Many were forced to navigate a rapidly changing social landscape that often excluded them from the benefits of statehood.
